13 Active Alerts

Ferry Alert

Through early April, customers traveling through Colman Dock will notice construction inside the main passenger waiting area. A temporary plywood wall was installed in the center of the waiting area while a new coffee, espresso, and snack kiosk is built. Two-way public access, including ADA access, is maintained around the entire work area, and there will be no impact to terminal access doors or other locations within the terminal. Crews will work closely with terminal staff to keep things moving smoothly, and the temporary wall will be reduced or removed as soon as it’s safe, and the kiosk can be secured.

info

Ferry Alert

Construction is in progress on a Kitsap County ferry traffic lane project. Plan for possible weekday travel delays on State Route 104 near our Kingston terminal. Crews are installing a stop light system at Lindvog Road Northeast that detects when there is space for vehicles in the ferry line to proceed forward. They will also add kiosks that dispense boarding passes to help manage ferry traffic. We will keep you updated through rider alerts on when the stop light and boarding pass system will begin and how it will work.

info

Ferry Alert

The Washington State Transportation Commission wants to hear about your experience riding our ferries. They just released a new Ferry Riders’ Opinion Group, (FROG) survey, open through April 15. Join FROG to receive a link to the latest survey. Everyone is encouraged to take part – whether you ride often or just once in a while. Your feedback helps the commission know what we’re doing well and where we can do better. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and helping us improve our service.

info

Ferry Alert

We will continue trialing an updated pet policy through spring 2026. Dogs on leashes are allowed in all passenger areas during this trial period, except onboard food galleys. Other pets must be in a crate or carrier. Service animals are welcome everywhere, as required by law. Livestock must stay in appropriate enclosures at all times. We are reviewing the trial policy and will provide an update on our pet policy before summer 2026. Learn more on our Pets webpage.

info

Ferry Alert

In June 2025, we began a seismic retrofit project at the Kingston Ferry Terminal. Construction will last through July 2026. Ferry service will operate as normal, except for a delay of 20-30 minutes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for the 9:40 p.m. Kingston to Edmonds departure. This delay may also affect later sailings.

info

Ferry Alert

Update - The #1 Chelan is running 75 minutes behind schedule. We'll send updated travel information as it becomes available. Customers can check the online schedule for more information on scheduled upcoming sailings and also view the real-time travel map for live boat location information.

info

Ferry Alert

Prepare for possible travel delays if your weekday ferry plans include crossing the State Route 104 Hood Canal Bridge. Starting Monday, April 13, WSDOT crews will conduct a series of inspections at the bridge. The bridge will close twice each weekday at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. through Friday, April 24. Each closure may last up to one hour, but every effort will be made to keep closures as short as possible.

info

Ferry Alert

Update - After completing the Seattle 5:30 p.m. sailing to Bremerton, the Kaleetan will tie up early due to a shortage of crew. This cancels the following vessel #2 sailings: Bremerton 6:40 p.m., 9 p.m. Seattle 7:50 p.m., 10:30 p.m. The #1 Issaquah will complete the final round-trip: Bremerton 11:40 p.m. Seattle 12:50 a.m. Seattle / Bremerton Schedule

info

Ferry Alert

Schedule reset at MUK/CLIN: The route is running 30-40 minutes late. The plan is to have #2 Tokitae make their late 8:00 p.m. Clinton and 8:35 p.m. Mukilteo departures. KITSAP will hold in at Clinton and pick up the schedule with the 9:30 p.m. to pick up the Boeing commuters. The 8:30 p.m. Clinton to Mukilteo & 9:00 p.m. Mukilteo to Clinton sailings have been cancelled. We’ll send updated travel information as it becomes available. For upcoming sailings and live vessel locations, please check the online schedule and real-time travel map.

info

Ferry Alert

As of March 28, the 90-vehicle Sealth is running as the #2 vessel for about three weeks. This change is due to scheduled vessel maintenance, repairs, and inspections. In late April, we expect a larger vessel to return to service as the #2 vessel. Vehicle reservations have been adjusted to avoid overloading vessels. View the Anacortes/San Juan Islands schedule for sailing times.

info

Ferry Alert

Reminder: Vehicle reservations for the summer 2026 sailing season (June 14 through Sept. 19) will be available at 10 a.m., next Tuesday, April 14. For the Anacortes/San Juan Islands, the two-week and two-day reservation releases will remain at 7 a.m. The summer 2026 sailing schedules are now online: Anacortes/San Juan Islands Port Townsend/Coupeville To ensure a smooth and fair experience during this high-demand period, we will continue using a virtual waiting room during the reservations release. Reservations are currently open for booking through June 13, 2026. Visit our reservations webpage for more information.

info

Ferry Alert

As of Saturday, April 4, the Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth route is running a two-boat schedule with a third, unscheduled boat for about two weeks. The Salish is running as the third, unscheduled vessel to help move additional traffic and keep the #1 Kittitas and #2 Cathlamet on schedule. The route will return to its regular three-boat schedule by late April when we have another vessel repaired and returned to service.

info

Ferry Alert

The elevator on the Issaquah is out of service. The vessel has accessible restrooms located on the car deck level. Notify a ticket seller if you are traveling by car and need to park near the car deck restroom. We will provide an update as conditions change.

Bass Guitar Fixing Toilets Peacekeeping Odd Jobs

Today's Accomplishments

Fixed a toilet that "wasn't even broken, just disrespectful." Played bass in the garage for 45 minutes — neighbors unsure if it was practice or a plumbing diagnosis. Mediated a fence dispute using only hand gestures and a level. Has lived on-island long enough to remember when the ferry was on time. Once.
