High winds may impact ferry service Friday, Nov. 22

||| FROM WASHINGTON STATE FERRIES |||

All ferry passengers should be prepared for possible service disruptions starting this afternoon through tomorrow morning due to weather. The National Weather Service is forecasting high winds throughout the region that could impact all routes.

Safety is our number one priority, and there could be changes that affect the route schedules:

Anacortes/San Juan Islands and Port Townsend/Coupeville routes: With stronger winds in the north, we expect these routes to be most impacted by severe weather. This could include delays and cancellations. The Port Townsend/Coupeville route is currently out of service until further notice due to strong winds.

All routes: Passengers can expect a bumpy ride due to choppy waters. To better stabilize vessels, we may load them to full vehicle capacity and operate at slower speeds.

We will continue to closely monitor the situation and send updates as changes occur. We want to thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as delays and cancellations are likely.
