Washington State Ferries prepares for potential cancellations this weekend

With an increase of wind gusts in this weekend’s forecast, it’s very likely that the ferries to and from Seattle will be experiencing delays and possible cancellations.

This morning, the National Weather Service Seattle tweeted that there’s currently a possibility of local power outages and downed trees this weekend due to windy conditions on the Coast and Northern Interior.

In response, Washington State Ferries mentioned that bumpy ferry rides, cancellations, and delays are something to look out for as we head into the weekend.

Brace yourselves… some 🌊bumpy ferry rides🌬️ possible as we head into the weekend. Plan for possible cancellations & delays as well, especially on our #PortTownsend/#Coupeville & #Anacrotes/#SanJuanIslands routes. https://t.co/gDOSesmpty
