About this crossing

The Anacortes terminal where this boat lands is 4 to 5 miles outside town. Skagit Transit's route 410 serves it, and the Bellair Airporter shuttle runs from the dock to Sea-Tac airport, but the shuttle must be booked 24 hours ahead and keeps its own timetable, separate from WSF's, so a connection is not guaranteed. At Friday Harbor, bikes are loaded from the passenger terminal rather than the car lanes, and riders who turn up after loading has begun board last. No fare is taken at Friday Harbor, as WSF collects the round-trip fare in Anacortes.
