Wenatchee Ferry May Tie Up Due to Crew Shortage

Washington State Ferries (WSF) has issued an alert regarding a potential reduction in service on the vital Bainbridge-Seattle route. This disruption is anticipated due to an ongoing lack of available crew members. Specifically, the #1 Wenatchee ferry may be forced to tie up, or cease operations, following its scheduled 7:05 a.m. Seattle departure.

WSF officials confirm that active dispatching efforts are currently underway to fill the critical open position. Should the #1 Wenatchee indeed tie up, the Bainbridge-Seattle route will continue to operate, but will shift to the #2 sailing schedule. Service will then be solely provided by the #2 Tacoma ferry.

For all islanders and commuters who rely on this essential ferry service for their daily travel across the water, it is highly recommended to closely monitor the official Seattle / Bainbridge Island Schedule. WSF has stated that timely updates will be provided to the public as soon as more information becomes available regarding the crew situation and any resulting service changes.
