About the terminal

Nothing but this county boat links the island to the rest of Skagit County, and the channel it crosses is barely 1 km wide, so the passage takes about five minutes. Sailings from this side are listed without a fare: the ticket bought at the Anacortes berth covers the return, and there is nothing to pay on boarding here. Skagit County operates the service itself, so it sits outside the state system's fares and booking arrangements. The boat carries whatever the island needs, school buses and heavy lorries included.
