— from Washington State Ferries —
The M/V Yakima and the M/V Elwha will run at reduced passenger capacity for the rest of the day due to shortage of Coast Guard documented crew.
Passengers will not have access to the upper deck, therefore, the galleys will be closed. New vehicle reservations have been blocked for the remainder of the day and the rules have been relaxed.
Existing reservations are still valid and standby space is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Elwha is the #1 vessel and the Yakima is #2. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
