From Washington State Ferries

The 6:45 p.m. sailing from Anacortes to Lopez and the 7:35 p.m. sailing from Lopez to Anacortes Saturday have been canceled due to a crewing shortage.

Passengers with reservations for those trips will be loaded onto one of the subsequent sailings to their destination and can check the Anacortes / San Juan Islands Schedule for specific departure times.

All existing reservation holders will be prioritized and loaded on a first-come, first-served basis, and new reservations on the route have been closed to ensure enough space is available to accommodate existing reservation holders.

However, customers who choose to postpone their travel for today will not incur a no-show fee. Please note that standby space will be extremely limited for the remainder of the day.

WSF will make every attempt to accommodate reservation holders on their reserved sailing and those affected by the canceled sailing, but customers may encounter extended waits. Customers who are able to postpone their travel this evening are encouraged to do so.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding while we work to navigate this challenging time.
