Guemes Ferry service update – Nonpeak season starts Oct. 1, 2018

Good afternoon,

The nonpeak season fares and sailing schedule will be effective starting Monday, October 1, 2018.

Our new nonpeak brochure can be found at https://www.skagitcounty.net/PublicWorksFerry/Documents/Brochure_NONPeakFares.pdf.

 

As a reminder, after September 30, 2018, the Ferry Division will no longer accept checks at the ferry terminal. Payment by check is becoming more uncommon (we are currently averaging less than 5 checks per day). Additionally, we are moving to an electronic ticketing system that does not incorporate payment by check.

 

We will continue to accept cash and debit/credit cards at the ferry terminal. We currently accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express. We have Wi-Fi available at the Anacortes ferry terminal which gives us the ability to quickly process mobile credit card transactions in line. These transactions are very fast with the option of a receipt to the customer by text or email.

 

For questions, please contact Rachel Rowe, Ferry Operations Division Manager, at (360) 416-1400.

 

Sincerely,

Captain Rachel Rowe

Ferry Operations Division Manager

Skagit County Public Works
