WSDOT/WSF Update: Bremerton and Bainbridge Sailings Swap Loading Lanes Leaving Sea Starting Friday

Bremerton and Bainbridge-bound vessels departing Seattle will swap loading lanes beginning later this week. Due to service changes following an engine fire putting the Wenatchee out of operation, the Salish will sail the Seattle/Bremerton route starting on Friday, May 14.
Therefore, all customers traveling through Colman Dock need to be prepared for the following temporary changes beginning Thursday to accommodate the vessel:

• Seattle/Bremerton: All departures from Seattle will be out of Slip 1. There will also be slight schedule changes that eliminate an early afternoon roundtrip to allow the Salish to better maintain its schedule.
• Seattle/Bainbridge: All departures from Seattle will be out of Slip 3.

Bicycle passengers should also be aware of staging changes due to the swap. Bainbridge travelers will now be staged to the north in Lane 21, while Bremerton customers will be staged to the south in Lane 1. Terminal staff will be available to answer questions and help passengers.

These changes are anticipated to be in place for about seven weeks. Customers can check the schedules online for specific sailing information.

The safety of our customers and crew is WSF’s top priority. Please remember that all traveling customers are required to wear face coverings inside the terminal, at the tollbooth and aboard the ferry. Please also consider limiting your travel to only the most essential trips while service continues to be constrained by the pandemic.
