The Washington State Department of Transportation Ferries Division (WSF) reminds travelers to prepare for heavy traffic on all ferry routes during the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, Thursday, May 27 through Monday, May 31.

Ferry riders should note schedule adjustments for the holiday weekend and consider traveling outside of peak times to avoid the longest waits at the terminals. Customers should be prepared for waits of two to three hours or more heading westbound on Thursday afternoon and Friday, and eastbound on Monday.

On Friday, May 28, WSF will provide an extra sailing from Anacortes to Orcas at 2:05 p.m.

On Monday, May 31, the 2:20 p.m. sailing from Friday Harbor will go directly to Anacortes instead of making its usual island stops.

On Monday, May 31, WSF will also provide an extra sailing from Orcas to Anacortes at 3:20 p.m.
