Washington State Ferries said about 700,000 people are expected to ride through the ferry system from Friday, June 28, through Sunday, July 7.
This comes after officials issued an alert on thestating they are in the process of repairing the Suquamish , which has damage from a crab pot line.
The alert said that the Suquamish is a 144-vehicle vessel that WSF planned to swap with the 144-vehicle Tokitae on the Mukilteo/Clinton route for the Fourth of July holiday week. Officials said the Tokitae has to come out of service on June 30 for its federally mandated five-year drydocking.If the Suquamish is not returned to service by the start of next week and we need to take the Tokitae out of service by June 30, we will need to move vessels around," said the alert.
We run a complex operation of roughly 400 daily sailings,” said WSF Assistant Secretary Steve Nevey. “Our online tools let customers take control of their ferry travel to help plan a trip and know what to expect before they get in a ferry waiting line. In order to avoid some of those long wait times, officials said riders may consider taking an early morning or late-night sailing or by using transit to walk or bike onto the ferry if possible.
