Planning your ferry trip

Which Vashon dock should I use?

Vashon's north-end terminal serves Fauntleroy in West Seattle and Southworth on the Kitsap Peninsula. Tahlequah at the south end serves Point Defiance in Tacoma.

What do the times and cameras show?

Schedules use Pacific time and the date you select. A scheduled departure is not a guarantee of boarding or an on-time sailing. Dock cameras show current snapshots, including when you select a future date. Check the timestamp in each image.

Where can I check the boats?

Boat positions, when available, show the latest WSDOT reports. If positions or schedules are unavailable here, use WSDOT's North End tracker or South End tracker and the official schedule links.
