MUKILTEO, Wash. — Ferry service from Mukilteo to Clinton will have to cancel some trips as construction crews work on the Mukilteo ferry terminal.
According to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), the following days will see service suspended for four hours:
- Tuesday, Jan. 13
- Friday, Jan. 16
- Tuesday, Feb. 3
- Wednesday, Feb. 4
- Friday, Feb. 6
- Monday, Feb. 9
The closure will start at 8:30 a.m. from Clinton and 9:00 a.m. from Mukilteo.
Service will resume at 1:00 p.m. in Clinton and 1:30 p.m. in Mukilteo.
The final trips on weekdays from Jan. 19-30 and Feb. 16-20 will be cancelled.
The last sailings on these days will leave 10 minutes later than their normal scheduled time.
WSF says the service suspension is to repair and reposition a key ferry landing structure.
“In June of 2022, we had kind of a harder hit on the right-wing wall looking offshore and it bounced the ferry over to the left-wing wall and the left-wing wall moved. And so, this was not expected,” said Tom Castor, a marine project engineer for Washington State Ferries. " We did some more borings out there to determine if there was a difference of site conditions in the ground from initial assessments of how those wing walls were built and determined a repair plan. And so, we’ve been in the process of that repair plan for the last couple of years, getting all the permits in place. And now we’re on site to finish the repairs."
