Due to national coin shortage

— from Washington State Ferries —

Customers are encouraged to use debit or credit cards when purchasing their tickets at the terminal. Terminals have a limited supply of change due to a national coin shortage caused by COVID-19. Should customers need to pay with cash, please be prepared to pay with exact change.

Passengers also have the option to purchase their tickets online in advance to avoid paying at the tollbooth altogether.

Thank you for your understanding. We will continue to provide updates on the situation as they become available.
