About the terminal
Whidbey Island's only fixed road link is the bridge at Deception Pass, at its far northern tip, which makes this 20-minute crossing to Clinton the short way on and off the southern half of the island. It is the only route from the terminal, and the busiest that Washington State Ferries works anywhere in the state by the line's own account of its network. The fare is charged on the westbound crossing out of Mukilteo, with none listed on the way back from Clinton. Reservations are not taken here, so vehicles load in the order they arrive.
