Update-The Point Defiance/Tahlequah route will be in service to start the day of Friday, June 20.

The M/V Tokitae will undergo overnight engine repairs on Friday, June 20, at the end of their service day. This may reduce the Mukilteo/Clinton route to one-boat service starting Saturday morning until the Tokitae is cleared to sail.

Please check the Mukilteo / Clinton Schedule for vessel #1 sailing times and check our alerts page for updates.  We appreciate your patience as we work to maintain our fleet.

With two-boat service restored on the Seattle/Bremerton route, we’re moving vessels this evening to better align vessel size with route ridership.   

Vessel assignments starting Wednesday, June 18:  

• Edmonds/Kingston: The 188-vehicle Walla Walla will replace the 144-vehicle Suquamish.   

• Seattle/Bremerton: The 144-vehicle Suquamish will replace the 188-vehicle Walla Walla. 

We do not expect these boat moves to impact service. For real-time vessel locations and updates, please view Vessel Watch, available on our website and in the WSDOT mobile app. 

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:

Our summer sailing schedule started Sunday, June 15 and lasts through September 20. Two routes will have large schedule changes on June 15:  

• Anacortes/San Juan Islands: We’ll begin a NEW summer schedule for the Anacortes/San Juan Islands route this year, following a schedule update process with the community.  

• Seattle/Bremerton: The route will return to a two-boat schedule. 

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:  

• 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 Oct. 13.

All other routes will operate on their regular summer schedule, starting June 15. 

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.

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.
