— from Washington State Ferries —

The M/V Chelan is returning to the San Juan Islands on May 20, bringing additional capacity back to the route. The 124-vehicle vessel will replace the smaller M/V Sealth.

Thank you for your patience while we worked to bring a bigger boat back to the route and return it to full capacity.

Along with the Chelan, the Yakima, Elwha and Tillikum will also be on the route.
