SEATTLE — The Washington State Department of Transportation kicked off the summer vacation planning season by opening a new online reservation system for summer ferry travel.
But the system failed on its first day of operation Tuesday.
As of 2:30 p.m., vehicle reservations for summer travel on the San Juan Islands route, Port Townsend/Coupeville ferries and Anacortes/Sidney, B.C. route were unavailable online or by phone.
The ferry system director, Lynne Griffith, apologized for the inconvenience and said repairs are expected to take at least a week.
