About the terminal

Four of the San Juan Islands are reached from this Fidalgo Island dock, the only mainland terminal serving them: Lopez at 45 minutes, Shaw and Orcas at 55, and Friday Harbor at 70. Washington State Ferries collects the fare westbound only, so the return legs from the islands are listed here without one. This is also one of just two parts of the state network where vehicle space can be booked in advance. Do not confuse it with the Guemes Island berth, a county dock about 4 km away on the other side of town.
