Weekend WSF sailing schedule is all cattywampus

||| FROM WASHINGTON STATE FERRIES |||

We’ll need to cancel sailings and adjust the Anacortes/San Juan Islands schedule this weekend due to vessel moves. The current tentative plan is for Chelan to arrive in Anacortes on Sunday, March 1, in time to enter service later that day. 

Saturday, Feb. 28 

The 144-vehicle Yakima will operate its first westbound and eastbound round trip before going out of service for scheduled maintenance, repairs, and inspections. After Yakima departs the route, service will operate without a #2 vessel for the remainder of the day. 

 Cancelled sailings (#2 vessel): 

• 7:30 a.m. Anacortes to Orcas and Shaw (westbound)  

• 8:55 a.m. Orcas to Shaw and Anacortes (eastbound)  

• 10:30 a.m. Anacortes to Friday Harbor (westbound)  

• 12:20 p.m. Friday Harbor to Anacortes (eastbound)  

• 1:55 p.m. Anacortes to Lopez (westbound)  

• 3:05 p.m. Lopez to Anacortes (eastbound)

 Adjusted sailings:

• The 8:40 p.m. Anacortes (westbound) departure on the #1 Issaquah will operate as an all-stops sailing to serve all islands. 

Sunday, March 1 

We will operate without a #1 vessel until Chelan arrives. Issaquah will shift to the #2 position, and the route will operate a 3-boat schedule. 

Cancelled sailings (#1 vessel): 

• 5:30 a.m. Anacortes to Shaw and Orcas (westbound)  

• 6:50 a.m. Orcas to Shaw, Lopez, and Anacortes (eastbound) 

• 8:40 a.m. Anacortes to Friday Harbor (westbound) 

• 10:20 a.m. Friday Harbor to Anacortes (eastbound) 

• 11:55 a.m. Anacortes to Shaw and Orcas (westbound) 

• 1:30 p.m. Orcas to Shaw, Lopez, and Anacortes (eastbound) 

If Chelan arrives as planned, it is expected to enter service in time to operate the 3:20 p.m. Anacortes to Shaw and Orcas sailing. 

Reservations 

Reservation holders will be prioritized on a first-come, first-served basis on Saturday and Sunday. Standby travel may be very limited or unavailable. New reservations are blocked on all sailings. No-show fees will be waived if customers cannot travel due to the service disruption. 

We will provide updated service information as soon as Chelan’s arrival is confirmed and normal vessel assignments can resume.
