This summer, we’ll have 18 vessels in service, allowing us to return to almost full domestic service – three years earlier than originally planned. We will bring back the following service:

• The Seattle/Bremerton route will return to its two-boat schedule starting Sunday, June 15. 

• The Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth “Triangle” route will resume its pre-pandemic three-boat schedule beginning Monday, June 30. 

• A second vessel will operate on the Port Townsend/Coupeville run every Friday through Monday from July 4 through the end of the route’s shoulder season on Oct. 13. 

We’re also starting a NEW summer sailing schedule on the Anacortes/San Juan Islands route on Sunday, June 15.  

The reality of adding service: We’ll need to crew three more daily boats for this added service. While we've done a lot of hiring and career development in recent years, we will have fewer available relief crew members. This could mean more cancellations due to a shortage of crew.

At Colman Dock in Seattle, the north stairwell that exits to the Alaskan Way sidewalk is closed this week due to construction. Two other stairwells are located at the south and east sides of the entry building, in addition to the elevators, for walk-on passengers accessing the terminal. This work is part of the final elements of the new terminal project.

We’ll begin a new summer schedule for the Anacortes/San Juan Islands route on June 15, following a collaborative schedule update process with the community. This is the third new schedule for the route after successfully implementing new winter and spring sailing schedules earlier this year. 

We’ll be moving boats over the next few days to complete maintenance and inspections.  

Wednesday, May 14  

• Edmonds/Kingston: After successful maintenance, the 124-vehicle Chelan will go back into service and replace the 188-vehicle Spokane for about two days. The Spokane will be out of service for its annual inspection.   

 Friday, May 16 

• Edmonds/Kingston: Once inspection is complete, the Spokane will return to the route, replacing the Chelan.  

• Anacortes/San Juan Islands: The 124-vehicle Chelan will replace the 90-vehicle Sealth as the #4 interisland vessel. The Sealth will go out of service for maintenance until mid-June.  

Please note this plan may change due to crew availability or the time required to complete maintenance and inspections. For real-time vessel locations and updates, please view Vessel Watch, available on our website and in the WSDOT mobile app.

There will be low tides for the Mukilteo/Clinton route for the week of May 25 through May 30th.

As of Monday, May 12, parking rates increased at the Southworth U-Park lot. The previous $5 flat fee is now $7 for up to 12 hours and $10 for up to 24 hours. This is the first parking rate adjustment at our Southworth terminal in more than 5 years. 

U-Park also introduced a new pay-by-plate system, making it easier to extend your parking time using the Scan to Pay mobile option, available through QR code signage at the lot.  

The #2 elevator on the MV Suquamish is temporarily unavailable. The crew can direct passengers to the #1 elevator. Updates will occur when more information is available.

The #1 end elevator on the M/V Tokitae is out of service. The #2 end elevator is available for access to the upper decks. Updates will occur as more information becomes available. 

As we expand service for the busy summer season, we will host two virtual community meetings next week on Wednesday, May 21 at noon and Thursday, May 22 at 6 p.m. At the meetings, we’ll provide updates and answer questions on the latest at Washington State Ferries.  

Both meetings will cover the same topics. Registration is required. To learn more and register, visit: https://wsdot.wa.gov/travel/washington-state-ferries/about-us/community-participation.
