The galley will offer limited hot foods (soups, pretzels, popcorn), pre-made sandwiches, salads and packaged snacks. Ice cream and various cold beverages will also be available, but there will be no beer or wine due to the short duration of the crossing. | Washington State Ferries

Put simply… line cutting is pretty *ferry horn blast* RUDE. We all have places to be. But don’t be THAT guy and cut a fellow passenger off when getting in line for the ferry. As summer comes in swinging, long wait times for drivers are to be expected - and frustrating. Drivers who cut in line can be fined by @wastatepatrol - not a good look. Reminder: only law enforcement can’t issue fines and enforce laws. Our employees are not law enforcement agents. Please be kind. Video description: a woman

Safety is our top priority and that doesn’t stop with passengers and crew! This family was hoping to catch a ride to Vashon when our Southworth crew spotted them.

All operating ferries sounded their whistle at 11:11 a.m. today in honor of Veterans Day. We’re also flying a military branch or Merchant Marine flag and the POW/MIA flag on our vessels today. We're proud to employ many veterans. They bring invaluable skills from their time in service. One of our employee veterans says, "I am using the confidence I gained to confront new challenges." We’re grateful for the contributions veterans make each day and honored to have them on our team! | Washington St
