Sea/Brem/BI - Traffic Changes Began at Colman Dock on Wednesday, Aug. 19

Customers driving through Colman Dock will notice two major changes that started on Aug. 19. First, there will be increased holding lane space for Bremerton-bound passengers. Second, drivers leaving the terminal will now be able to use either Yesler Way or Marion Street when exiting the terminal. Both changes are temporary with three years remaining until construction is completed to rebuild the Seattle terminal.





All Routes - Customers are Advised to Limit Ferry Travel to Essential Purposes

As a reminder, the Governor’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” emergency order is still in effect. Customers are advised to limit travel on ferries to essential purposes only, and to observe physical distancing by remaining in their vehicles whenever possible. Customers who must travel on ferries are strongly encouraged to wear face coverings to help promote the health and safety of themselves and our frontline employees. On some sailings, the number of walk-on passengers may be restricted so that riders can maintain physical distance. Thank you for doing your part to keep Washingtonians safe and healthy during this challenging time.
