About the terminal

Of the four San Juan Islands terminals this is the one nearest the mainland, about 17 km from Anacortes across Rosario Strait, a crossing of about 45 minutes. Washington State Ferries also links it with Shaw, 4 km off, Orcas and Friday Harbor, so a vehicle can be moved between any two of the group without going back to the mainland first. Vehicle reservations are accepted on the Anacortes crossing, one of only two routes in the state network that take them, and the ticket for it is a return, so no fare is listed on the eastbound leg out of here.
