About this crossing
No road reaches Guemes Island, so this Skagit County boat carries the island's commuters and visitors along with construction and logging lorries, service trucks and emergency crews. Tickets are not checked on the Guemes side. Every fare is a round trip, scanned when boarding in Anacortes, which means a visitor's ride back is covered by the ticket shown on the way over, while islanders pay when they board for home. On the Anacortes side, Skagit Transit's route 409 stops at the Guemes ferry terminal.
