UPDATE: Back in service

— from Washington State Ferries —

Due to a mechanical failure at the terminal caused by low temperatures, all sailings in and out of Lopez Island are cancelled until further notice. We apologize for the inconvenience and will provide updates as they become available.

UPDATE: 8:51 p.m.

For Tuesday, February 5, transfer span repairs have been completed and the Lopez terminal is back in service. Anacortes will load Lopez-bound traffic on the 9:05 pm all-stops sailing. The M/V Hyak will take Lopez traffic on their final eastbound sailing, departing Friday Harbor at 11:15 pm, and will make an unscheduled stop on Lopez before arriving in Anacortes.
