BREMERTON – Ferry service on the Seattle/Bremerton route resumed at approximately 3:45 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 18 when the Hyak was cleared by Washington State Patrol (WSP) and the U.S. Coast Guard to return to service.

The Seattle/Bremerton route will continue to operate approximately 30 minutes behind schedule for the rest of the evening while the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Ferries Division works to clear out waiting traffic.

Customers are advised to arrive earlier than usual and to expect longer waits through the evening.

Service on the Seattle/Bremerton route was shut down at approximately 12:45 p.m. on Tuesday due to a second hand report of a terrorist threat to one of the vessels on the route.
