About the terminal

At the southern tip of Vashon Island, some 20 km from the island's other terminal at the northern end, this slip has one crossing and no more: 15 minutes over Dalco Passage to Point Defiance in Tacoma. It is the island's only link pointing south, and the way to and from Pierce County. No fare is shown against the crossing leaving here, because the vehicle ticket for the route is sold as a return and paid at the Tacoma end. Reservations are not taken. Travellers should be careful not to confuse it with the terminal at the north end, which serves quite different places.
