Plan Ahead for Ferry Travel on Port Townsend/Keystone Route September 5-7
~ The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Ferries Division advises both vehicle and walk-on travelers to plan ahead for travel on the Port Townsend/Keystone ferry route during Port Townsend’s Wooden Boat Festival the weekend of Sept. 5-7. Vehicle travelers are strongly encouraged make reservations ahead of time online or by phone, and walk-on passengers should consider traveling during off-peak times to avoid long waits at the terminals.
Vehicle reservations are available for the Port Townsend/Keystone route, but WSDOT does not take reservations for walk-on passengers. With a capacity of 300 passengers on the Steilacoom II, walk-on traffic may exceed the vessel’s capacity at the above mentioned times during this festival weekend. Passengers in vehicles count toward the total maximum capacity.
Customers can access the Port Townsend/Keystone sailing schedule and make vehicle reservations on the WSDOT Ferries Division Web site at www.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries or by calling 1-888-808-7977 (WA and BC) or 5-1-1 (WA).
