Update – The Chelan will join the route as vessel #1 and will begin service with the 6:05 p.m. sailing from Anacortes to Shaw and Orcas.
Before the arrival of the Chelan, Issaquah will shift to the #2 position, and the route will operate a 3-boat schedule.
Cancelled sailings (#1 vessel):
- 1:30 p.m. Orcas to Shaw, Lopez, and Anacortes (eastbound)
- 3:20 p.m. Anacortes to Shaw and Orcas (westbound)
- 4:35 p.m. Orcas to Shaw to Anacortes (eastbound)
Due to unfavorable tidal currents, the Chelan is not expected to arrive in Anacortes until approximately 4:20 p.m.
In an effort to move Orcas Island displaced traffic, the following adjustments have been made to the sailing schedule:
- 4:00 p.m. Anacortes to Friday Harbor (deadhead) will now make a stop at Orcas on its way to Friday Harbor (westbound) (#4 Tillikum) before resuming its inter-island schedule.
- 7:35 p.m. Friday Harbor to Anacortes will now make an unscheduled stop at Orcas for Anacortes bound traffic. (eastbound) (#3 Samish)
Reservations
Reservation holders will be prioritized on a first-come, first-served basis on 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.
