Proposed changes to WSF sailing schedule Winter 2018-Winter 2023 JUNE 2017
During construction of the Seattle Multimodal Terminal at Colman Dock Project, the terminal building will be much smaller and will not have
enough space to accommodate passengers leaving for Bainbridge Island and Bremerton at the same time. WSFs sailing schedule will need to
change so that only one vessel arrives and departs Colman Dock at a time. We know that schedule changes may have personal impacts for
customers. We want to hear from you before we make our nal decision.
