Busy weekend for state ferries
Don’t be surprised to see higher traffic/pedestrian volume in Anacortes for Labor Day Weekend. State ferry customers should plan ahead for what is anticipated to be one of the busiest travel weekends in the last few years, according to Washington State Ferries (WSF). About 400,000 people are expected to travel throughout the ferry system between Thursday, August 29 and Tuesday, September 5 for Labor Day weekend. The most traveled day will be Saturday, September 2. (As of Friday, September 1, state ferry Yakima was in drydock at Dakota Creek Industries (DCI). No information regarding the ferry’s status on WSF website).
