FERRY ALERT: Fauntleroy-Vashon-SW getting back to normal after morning cancellations

9:02 AM: We hadn’t mentioned this yet because it looked for a while like the problems had been solved, but now Washington State Ferries has announced more cancellations on the Fauntleroy-Vashon-Southworth run – on a day when traffic was already expected to be heavy, not just for usual weekend increases, but because it’s graduation day at Vashon Island High School. WSF cited shorthandedness as the reason for cancelling runs from Vashon and Fauntleroy last hour; check here for the latest.

10:10 AM: As noted in comments, looks like the route is back to the usual capacity now, but even before this, WSF was advising early arrivals today.

    Looks like they are back up and running. But seriously WSF? You can’t have enough people scheduled/on call in case someone doesn’t show up to work?

      It’s run by the state, did you think they’d plan correctly to accommodate for any potential issues?   It’s amazing to me that the ferry system is as backwards and corrupt at Seattle Public Schools.
