Hi everyone!

Now that the big date is getting closer and we've ironed out some details, we wanted to give you some updates to help streamline your travel to Friday Harbor.

First, we need to make some revisions to our earlier guidance on the ferry system.

Ferry Schedule:

The summer schedule has been released! Here are the departure times from Anacortes to Friday Harbor:

4:05am

6:15am

9:05am

12:00pm

2:00pm

4:45pm

8:20pm

11:00pm

Reservations:

Washington State Ferries (WSF) releases reservations in three tiers:

First tier (25% of capacity): Released 2 months prior to the sail date (guess the knucklehead who missed this)

Second tier (25% of capacity): Released 2 weeks prior

Third tier (25% of capacity): Released 2 days prior

The last 25% of ferry capacity is held for standby.

If you check the site now, most reasonable slots may already be booked, but don't fret! The next opportunities to secure reservations will be available 2 weeks and 2 days before the sail date! WSF opens up reservations at 7:00am sharp! Bookmark the date you'd like to check reservations and be ready! Otherwise, you can call WSF directly @ 206-464-6400 to book directly.

For example, if you want to make a reservation for September 6th, bookmark August 23rd at 7am to be on the site and ready to book.

Important Tip:

Plan to arrive at the ferry terminal at least one hour before your desired departure time. This will give you enough time to navigate any unexpected delays and ensure you have a smooth boarding process.

Alternatives:

If reservations are already making your head spin, consider walking on or carpooling! The venue is just a 5-minute drive from the ferry terminal!

Last, reservations ARE available for departures from Friday Harbor to Anacortes.

**For any questions or concerns, please reach out to either Alan or Katie!! See you on the other side!
