All other routes will operate regular schedules. Holiday sailings are marked on the schedules for each route.

To help navigate the crowds, customers are encouraged to use the WSDOT mobile app or visit the WSF website before heading to the terminal. Both feature sailing schedules, live terminal conditions, rider alerts, a real-time map and vehicle reservations.

The restrooms at the Clinton terminal are out of service until further notice. There are sani-cans on site and restrooms onboard the vessels. Updates will be provided as conditions change.
