Guemes Island Ferry will be out of service
March 28 to May 22, 2011

SKAGIT COUNTY – The Guemes Island Ferry will be out of service from approximately March 28 to May 22, 2011 during the Ferry Dock Rehabilitation Project construction period.
The ferry docks at both Anacortes and Guemes Island are in need of girder replacement due to significant corrosion, cracking, and spalling from years of salt water exposure. The main construction for the Dock Rehabilitation Project is expected to take 8-10 weeks to complete.
