— from Washington State Ferries —
As a reminder, the Governor’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” emergency order is still in effect. Customers are advised to limit travel on ferries to essential purposes only, and to observe physical distancing by remaining in their vehicles whenever possible.
Customers who must travel on ferries are strongly encouraged to wear face coverings to help promote the health and safety of themselves and our frontline employees. On some sailings, the number of walk-on passengers may be restricted so that riders can maintain physical distance.
Thank you for doing your part to keep Washingtonians safe and healthy during this challenging time.

We need more large “essential travel only” signage prior to driving up to the ticket window. The small sign below the window is inadequate because drivers are paying attention to the transaction obtaining their ticket to board and don’t see it. Thank you ticket takers for being there for us when we to do those
essential medical trips!
