REMINDER: No West Seattle or Vashon Water Taxi service starting Monday, for up to a week

One more reminder: The King County Water Taxi is out of service as of tomorrow (Monday, August 7th), for up to a week. That’s a shorter maximum duration than what was originally announced in June, when KCDOT first said a service interruption would be needed for the move to a temporary downtown dock to be used during the overhaul of the permanent site on the south side of Colman Dock. Then in June, a followup announcement included the start date for the interruption, plus the plan for it to last no more than a week. When service resumes, the Water Taxi and Kitsap Transit‘s foot ferries will be using the new temporary dock, which is under construction as of last Monday (WSB coverage here) on the north side of Colman Dock. The temp dock will be in use for about a year and a half, with a revised schedule (find it here), too.

    WSB, any updates on this now that we are coming up to the end of the week? I did not see anything new on the Water Taxi webpage.

      I asked KCDOT for an update first thing this morning and their spokesperson said he was expecting one within “hours.” Thought that would mean by day’s end but nothing yet.

Sorry, comment time is over.
