Existing Services - King County Ferry District

The King County Ferry District currently operates two routes:

King County Water Taxi: Vashon Island/Downtown Seattle route

When the Washington State Legislature cut funding for passenger ferry service, the King County Ferry District stepped in to ensure passenger ferry service continued between Vashon Island (Vashon Ferry Terminal) and downtown Seattle (Pier 50).
The King County Water Taxi provides three trips in the peak direction during morning and evening commutes.

When service resumes on Monday, April 5, 2010, the West Seattle/Downtown Seattle Water Taxi route will operate from Seacrest Dock (in West Seattle) to Pier 50 (in Downtown Seattle) with a new vessel, the Rachel Marie.
Plans for the 2010 season include a new vessel and crew, improvements at Seacrest Dock (including a wider, longer gangway to meet accessibility guidelines, new concrete floats and a change in docking orientation) and new fares.
Year-round service is planned in 2010 if additional funding is secured. The service provided on this route was previously referred to as the Elliott Bay Water Taxi.
