On Sunday, May 4, the Salish will return to the Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth route, running as the third, unscheduled boat. We had temporarily moved the Salish to support a service disruption on the Anacortes/San Juan Island route due to urgent vessel repairs. Thank you for your patience as we repair our vessels.
We’ll begin a new summer schedule for the Anacortes/San Juan Islands route on June 15, following a collaborative schedule update process with the community. This is the third new schedule for the route after successfully implementing new winter and spring sailing schedules earlier this year.

Both meetings will cover the same topics. Registration is required. To learn more and register, visit: https://wsdot.wa.gov/travel/washington-state-ferries/about-us/community-participation
