||| FROM CAREY ESKRIDGE for ORCAS ISLAND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE |||
Washington State Ferries (WSF) has implemented immediate vehicle restrictions at the Orcas Island ferry terminal following the discovery of cracks in the steel beneath the terminal’s transfer span during an engineering inspection.
Effective immediately and until further notice, only vehicles under 22 feet in length AND weighing less than 8,000 pounds will be permitted to load or unload at the Orcas Island ferry terminal. These restrictions may affect commercial deliveries, service vehicles, and other transportation essential to island businesses and residents.
The Orcas Island Chamber of Commerce is monitoring the situation and will share additional information as it becomes available. Residents, businesses, and travelers are encouraged to plan accordingly and stay informed through official Washington State Ferries communications.
Businesses and community members with specific questions, concerns, or information needs related to the restrictions are encouraged to contact Chamber Executive Director Carey Eskridge directly at carey@orcasislandchamber.com.
