TRANSIT TODAY
West Seattle Water Taxi – Regular West Seattle service, fall/winter schedule.
Washington State Ferries – The Triangle Route remains on a two-boat schedule for at least another week, but a third “bonus boat” is expected to be added starting tomorrow, according to WSF’s alerts page:
The Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth route will stay on the two-boat schedule for at least one more week, through Jan. 12.
Tuesday, Jan. 6: The Kittitas will replace the Sealth and run as the #1 vessel. The Cathlamet will run as the #2 vessel.
Wednesday, Jan. 7: The Salish will start as the third, unscheduled vessel on the route.
After the Kittitas returns, we’ll still have the Tacoma and the Walla Walla unexpectedly out of service due to urgent repairs. We will reevaluate service plans and vessel assignments when the Tacoma returns to service the week of Jan. 12.
Metro buses – Regular weekday schedule and routes today.
