New ferry sailing schedule designed to cut delays, frustration in San Juan Islands

Island life may be idyllic, but getting to and from the San Juan Islands from Anacortes takes planning for both locals and tourists.

For the first time in more than a decade, Washington State Ferries (WSF) is rolling out new sailing schedules for the Anacortes-San Juan Island route.

WSF Director of Planning, Customer, and Government Relations John Vezina told KOMO News that the agency is fully aware of the frustrations and hardships that come when a boat is late or can’t sail because of a staffing shortage or maintenance issue.

The first of three new schedules for the San Juan Islands will be implemented with the winter schedule, starting Dec. 29. The new schedules allow more time for loading and unloading with today's traffic volumes and also take into account the times, passengers have said are the most convenient for them.
