From the San Juan Ferry Advisory Committee
Washington State Ferries (WSF) has posted the proposed summer schedule here:
https://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Ferries/Service/ScheduleProposals.htm
The schedule has been carefully reviewed by both WSF and the Ferry Advisory Committee ( FAC). There are relatively few changes from last summer: Some 5 or 10 minute adjustments to improve on-time performance, and an additional stop for Shaw in the morning and the afternoon, to streamline operations with respect to loading/unloading.
The public is asked to e-mail comments by Wednesday, April 18 to fac@sanjuanco.com
and/or wsfplanning@wsdot.wa.gov.
County Ferry Advisory Council Liaison Howie Rosenfeld says, “Summer is many folks’ least-favorite ferry schedule, yet [WSF] does a good job of moving an awful lot of folks to and from and around the islands during the busy summer season.”
The summer schedule will be in effect from Sunday, June 17 through Saturday, Sept. 22.
