How Do You Ride A Washington State Ferry?
• Look up the ferry schedule on the Washington State Ferries website. A link is provided at the bottom of this page. Use this site to get info on next sailings and reservations (Port Townsend-Keystone routes and Anacortes-Sidney B.C. routes only). • Check the list of terminals. Again, a link is provided at the bottom of the page. • Arrive about 20-30 minutes before sailing if going by car, or about 15 minutes before for on-foot. High traffic ferries going between the San Juans require almost 1 1/2 hours by car and about 30 minutes by foot. On-foot rides are generally recommended for most sailings. • Pay up. If you prefer, you can purchase tickets online. Prices vary greatly depending on the route (which can be $7 a person or about $20 for a car and driver for the Bremerton route to almost $17 dollars a person and $45 dollars for a car for the Sidney route). Credit cards are accepted. • Board. If going by car, you’ll load into a garage area and then take stairs up to the main passenger
