Public Wi-Fi is now available aboard the Chimacum, which normally serves our Seattle/Bremerton route. New signs on board explain how to connect. The service works best inside the passenger cabin, where the signal is strongest. If you have problems or feedback, please use the Wi-Fi portal seen from your phone or computer and select “Provide Wi-Fi Feedback.” This launch is part of a pilot project that will also add public Wi-Fi at our Bremerton terminal this summer.

Our summer sailing schedule starts Sunday, June 14, and runs through Sept. 19.   Anacortes/San Juan Islands: We’ve made schedule adjustments to improve on-time performance.    Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth: The #3 vessel will operate a full-day schedule on Saturdays and Sundays this summer. Last year, it operated half days on weekends due to limited crewing.   Port Townsend/Coupeville: Starting Tuesday, June 16, the route will operate a two-boat schedule daily through Oct. 12.    All other routes will operate on their regular summer schedules, available online now.

On Wednesday, May 20, we began a six-week education and transition period to help people learn our new pet policy rules before they take effect on July 1.  Under the updated policy, pets are allowed in three areas:  On vehicle decks  In outdoor passenger areas  In marked areas inside cabins on the opposite end from the galley  Pets are not allowed in the galley or on passenger seating and tables. They also cannot stay inside the cabin on the galley end of the vessel. Pet owners may pass through this restricted area but must take the most direct route and not stop.  Learn more about the new pet policy on our Pets webpage.
