— from Washington State Ferries —

There will be unscheduled supplemental service through the San Juan Islands this week to help with what will be a busy Fourth of July holiday.

  • Wednesday, July 3: Extra 6:45 p.m. sailing from Anacortes to Lopez.
  • Wednesday, July 3: Additional 7:35 p.m. sailing from Lopez to Anacortes.
  • Friday, July 5: Extra 10:30 p.m. sailing from Orcas to Anacortes.

All customers should be prepared for longer waits at the terminal due to increased traffic and should consider giving themselves extra travel time to get to the terminal and through the tollbooth.

Please remember that all illegal fireworks are not allowed on any ferry. This includes missile-type rockets, bottle rockets, M-80s, firecrackers, tennis ball bombs, and any homemade or altered fireworks.
