A broken-down ferry left dozens of people stranded at the Friday Harbor Ferry Terminal overnight.
According to a man who was waiting for the ferry on Sunday night, more than 80 vehicles and their occupants were left on San Juan Island.
On Sunday morning, the Yakima ferry was taken out of service for mechanical issues, canceling more than half a dozen sailings and leaving people stuck on the island. Some slept in their cars, according to a traveler. Stranded 5 hours with a reserved spot and now told to wait another 5 hours to catch the third ferry. Each time the other two came we were not boarded. Over 250 ppl waiting to make a ferry here. All stranded in cars at the Port of Friday Harbor. Absolutely, insane.On Monday morning, Washington State Ferries said that due to the service disruption Sunday, traffic departing the terminal would be loaded on a first-come, first-served basis to help travelers who have been waiting all night.
WSF said the Kaleetan has now replaced the Yakima as the #2 vessel on the Anacortes/San Juan Island route.I don't see any announcements about the multiple cancelled ferries last night. The updates would have really helped the hundred stuck and waiting for the next ferry. Should we be expecting a report now. Really disappointed by this Washington ferry experience
