Traveler advice
Getting around
Ferry Schedules
If you are taking ferries to the Peninsula, be aware of ferry schedules and updates. Getting back to the mainland can require long wait times, especially in the summer months. If you are departing on a Sunday, you might want to alter your travel plans to leave early, as ferries tend to back up in the afternoon. Download the WSDOT App, as it has the most up to date information on ferry schedules.
Getting around
Hood Canal Bridge Closures
The Hood Canal Bridge will open for marine traffic. Bridge openings usually last less than 30 minutes. Occasionally, the bridge will be closed for longer periods overnight for repair and maintenance. The most up to date information can be found using the WSDOT app.
Getting around
Traveling to SeaTac Airport
Consider using the Tacoma Narrows Bridge instead of ferries, especially if your time window is narrow. Ferries can fill up, and missing a ferry may cause you to miss a flight.
