Alternative sailings for ferries

Submitted by Washington State Ferries.

Beginning Tuesday, Nov. 12 through Sunday, Dec. 8, international service between Anacortes/Friday Harbor/Sidney, British Columbia is canceled due to required maintenance on both vessels in Washington State Ferries’ fleet certified to run international service to and from Sidney, British Columbia, M/V Elwha and M/V Chelan.

During this period, M/V Sealth will replace Elwha/Chelan and sail in the No. 3 vessel position to maintain full four-vessel service on the domestic San Juan Island routes. Due to the cancellation of service to Sidney, British Columbia, there will also be increased domestic service.

Reservations are available for the 9:55 a.m. from Friday Harbor to Anacortes, 10:40 a.m. Lopez to Anacortes (commercial only), and 11:55 a.m. Anacortes to Lopez and Friday Harbor sailings at www.takeaferry.com. Customers can also contact the WSF’s information center and speak with an agent to make a reservation or get additional information. The number is 206-464-6400.
