Down to two ferries serving Fauntleroy

There's been delays for most of the day for ferries serving the Fauntleroy dock, and now the delays likely will be all day and into the night.

The Kitsap has been pulled out of service for repairs, leaving the Sealth and Tillikum as the only ferries serving Vashon Island and Southworth.

There have been schedule modifications to adjust for the routes being down to two ferries.  There were delays of up to 45 minutes earlier in the day because of heavy vehicle loads, so this doesn't make it any better.

So if you're heading across the sound from Fauntleroy, be patient.

Delays at Fauntleroy ferry dock up to 45 minutes

If you're wanting to take the ferry to Vashon Island or Southworth on the Kitsap Peninsula, be prepared for a long wait.

Because of a switch in boats and a large amount of vehicles, all the ferries leaving the Fauntleroy dock are running between 25-45 minutes behind schedule.

So be patient as you wait to board.  Those of you traveling along Fauntleroy Way near the dock may also experience delays going through the area, too.
