Reservations reopen Thursday morning for Saturday sailings

The Anacortes/San Juan Islands ferry route resumes its regular Summer 2017 schedule on Saturday, July 29.

A series of boat moves and a vessel repair will bring five boats back to the route on Saturday, July 29, restoring it to full capacity. Passengers can begin making vehicle reservations for this weekend and beyond at 7am on Thursday, July 27. Service was reduced on Wednesday, July 19, due to vessel break down and the lack of an available backup.

“We’re happy to be able to return things back to normal for everyone who relies on us to get back and forth between Anacortes and the San Juan Islands,” said Elizabeth Kosa, chief of staff for Washington State Ferries. “We know the adjusted schedule has been difficult for residents, businesses and tourists and want to thank them for their patience.”

Washington State Ferries, a division of the Washington State Department of Transportation, is the largest ferry system in the U.S. and safely and efficiently carries 24 million people a year through some of the most majestic scenery in the world.
