The #4 inter-island vessel, Tillikum will cancel one round trip due to crewing. Dispatch has filled the position, and the vessel will return to service with the 5:45 p.m. sailing from Friday Harbor. 

This will cancel the following sailing(s):

• 2:20 p.m. Friday Harbor to Orcas
• 3:10 p.m. Orcas to Shaw
• 3:25 p.m. Shaw to Lopez
• 3:50 p.m.  Lopez to Shaw
• 4:10 p.m.  Shaw to Orcas
• 4:30 p.m.  Orcas to Friday Harbor

We will continue to send updated travel information as it becomes available. Customers can check the online schedule for more information on scheduled upcoming sailings and also view the real-time travel map for live boat location information.

Vehicle reservations for the summer schedule (June 16 through September 21) on our Anacortes/San Juan Islands and Port Townsend/Coupeville routes are now available to reserve.

Customers traveling from Anacortes to Lopez Island Friday and Saturday this week should prepare for additional traffic on the route. The annual Tour de Lopez bicycle event will be held on Saturday, April 27. The event is anticipated to bring an increase in traffic to the route.

To help ensure the smooth flow of traffic and accommodate event participants, the 7:30 a.m. sailing from Anacortes to Orcas Island will make an additional unscheduled stop into Lopez Island.

If you are already a FROG member, you will get the next survey automatically. Thank you for your participation!

There is a one hour wait for vehicle traffic departing Kingston. The boarding pass system has not been activated for Kingston traffic. Please refrain from blocking driveways and intersections in the area upon arriving at the terminal. Updates will occur when more information is available.

Two of the four lanes on the dock at our Southworth terminal will close for three weeks beginning in mid-May. During that time, crews will replace the wooden decking of the walkway running along the south side of the pier. Plan for possible delays on our Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth route and oversized Vashon-bound vehicles that require the completion of a travel request form will not be able to travel out of Southworth. Customers are encouraged to arrive early and – for those who can – take alternate routes. The decking below the sidewalk is badly in need of repair and we must do this work now so it’s complete ahead of our busy summer travel season.
