About this crossing

There is no parking at the Mukilteo terminal itself. The city manages paid spaces nearby with a four-hour limit, and WSF suggests leaving a car at a park-and-ride in Lynnwood or Everett and arriving by transit instead. Sound Transit's Sounder N-Line stops about 800 feet from the terminal, and buses use a transit centre at the east end of the passenger building. WSF counts this among its busiest routes and encourages buying tickets ahead, though a ticket does not hold space on a boat and no vehicle reservations are taken here; our WSF and BC Ferries comparison explains how that works. SR 525 leads to the dock on both shores of the 20-minute crossing.
