WASHINGTON STATE FERRIES

 

Motorcycle Loading Procedures

There are a couple of very good reasons to ride a motorcycle aboard a Washington State Ferry.

The motorcycle & driver fare is much less than the car & driver fare.

Loading procedures often allow first on, first off privileges if staged prior to the commencement of loading.

Motorcyclists rarely face an overload situation on busy commuter runs, weekends & sunny summer days.
