WSDOT

Reminder:

On Tuesday, June 24, work crews will make necessary repairs on the Mukilteo terminal’s vehicle transfer span, the overwater part of the dock where vehicles drive on and off the ferry. To safely and quickly perform this work, we must shut down service that evening.  

All sailings after these two departures are cancelled on Tuesday, June 24: 

• 8:30 p.m. Clinton to Mukilteo (This boat will stay at the Mukilteo dock and serve as the work platform.)
• 8:35 p.m. Mukilteo to Clinton

Regular service will resume on Wednesday, June 25 with the 4:40 a.m. Clinton to Mukilteo and 5:05 a.m. Mukilteo to Clinton sailings.  

We apologize for this service disruption and thank you for your patience as we make these terminal repairs. Customers can check the online schedule for more information on scheduled sailings and view the real-time travel map for live boat location information. 

Dispatch has filled the open position, and the Port Townsend/Coupeville route will remain service.  The 6:30 a.m. sailing from Port Townsend and 7:15 a.m. from Coupeville are cancelled due to tidal conditions. The fist sailing of the day will be 8 a.m. from Port Townsend and 8:45 a.m. from Coupeville.                

Low tides will cancel one or more sailings from Port Townsend and Coupeville in June. Please see our Tidal Cancellations table for a complete list of affected dates and departures.

On Sunday, June 22, the 6:30 a.m. sailing from Port Townsend and 7:15 a.m. from Coupeville are cancelled due to tidal conditions.

Edmonds / Kingston Schedule 

Mukilteo / Clinton Schedule 

Reminder:

Beginning Monday, June 16, we began construction at the Kingston Ferry Terminal through July 2026. This work is part of a seismic retrofit project at the terminal. Ferry service will operate as normal, with one sailing delayed by the construction.  

Daily 5:30 a.m. sailing delayed  

The 5:30 a.m. sailing from Kingston to Edmonds will be delayed up to 10 minutes during construction. This delay is due to needing to move a vessel from its overnight tie-up location to where we board passengers in Kingston. We will depart on time whenever possible. Please continue to arrive for a 5:30 a.m. sailing, for the days we can leave on time.  

Impacts to bus connections until August 30 

This delay will cause a missed connection to Community Transit Route 909, which departs Edmonds Station at 6:10 a.m. on weekdays. Please see the Route 909 schedule for alternate bus times. Community Transit Route 130 is another bus option and departs Edmonds Station at 6:27 a.m. on weekdays. Starting August 30, the Community Transit Route 909 will have a service change to align with the delayed 5:30 a.m. sailing.  

We appreciate your patience as we work to improve the Kingston terminal.  

Reminder:

The Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth and Port Townsend/Coupeville routes will operate alternate summer schedules until the week of June 30, when we add more service this summer:

Travelers who use the Keller Ferry, M/V Sanpoil on State Route 21 to cross the Columbia River should plan for extra travel time while the vessel is out of service for scheduled maintenance.

Beginning at 8 a.m. on Monday, June 23, the Keller Ferry will be removed from service so crews can perform preventative maintenance on one of the vessels two engines. The work is expected to take roughly eight hours, with the vessel expecting to return to service in the afternoon.

Travelers planning a trip across the Columbia River on SR 21 should choose an alternate route during the closure via SR 25 or SR 155 and SR 174. Drivers should also plan additional time for travel, as it can take up to an hour to complete the detour.

The #1 elevator is out of service on M/V Samish however there is an elevator on the #2 end available for customer use.  There is also an ADA compliant restroom on the car deck level. Updates will occur when conditions change.

The #2 elevator is out of service on the Tokitae. The #1 elevator is available.

At the start of service on Monday, June 2, the 144-vehicle Kaleetan  replaced the 202-vehicle Puyallup for about one month on the Seattle/Bainbridge route. The Puyallup has gone out of service for maintenance until late June. We know vehicle capacity reductions can be frustrating and lead to longer wait times. Thank you for your patience as we inspect, maintain, and repair our vessels.
