Two Friday night Port Townsend/Coupeville ferry routes have been canceled due to weather. These cancellations join two other scheduled cancellations.
According to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), the 5:15 p.m. Friday Port Townsend to Coupeville and the 6 p.m. Friday Coupeville to Port Townsend sailings have been canceled due to high winds and seas.
“The route is out of service until further notice,” WSDOT stated on its website. “Rules are relaxed for those who don’t sail this evening.”
