||| FROM WASHINGTON STATE FERRIES |||


As Washington State Ferries continues to operate under the constraints of the COVID pandemic, it will extend its current schedule through May 8. Currently vehicle reservations on the Anacortes/San Juan Islands and Port Townsend/Coupeville routes are available two weeks or two days in advance of the sailing date through March 27. Vehicle reservations for the period between March 28 and May 8 will be released at 7 a.m. PST on Tuesday, Feb. 2.

A modified “peak season” service will begin on May 9 for all routes and run through Saturday, Sept. 25. This will bring increased service to the San Juan Islands and add a second vessel to the Port Townsend/Coupeville route. International service to and from Sidney, B.C. remains suspended due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.

Reservations for the May 9-Sept. 25 “peak season” will be available on March 9. Reservations can be booked online or by calling 206-464-6400 and speaking with an Information Agent. Customers can also call that number should they have questions or need additional information.

Please consider limiting your travel to only the most essential trips while service continues to be constrained by the pandemic.

The safety of our customers and crew is WSF’s top priority. Please remember that all traveling customers are required to wear face coverings inside the terminal, at the tollbooth and aboard the ferry.
