Metro says the West Seattle Water Taxi‘s spring/summer schedule will start this Saturday, April 12. As in recent years, the major change will be the addition of later-in-the-evening runs on Fridays and Saturdays, until 11 pm; you can see the full schedules for those days/nights by going here. So what about big events that aren’t happening on those two nights? We asked Water Taxi spokesperson Al Sanders, who replied, “Sailings for special events (such as concerts) will continue to be decided on a case by case basis.” The spring/summer schedule will be in effect through Friday night, October 10.

I love this! However, from experience, cars get towed after 11pm on Alki. We had to get off the last ferry and race to our car. Fortunately our car was still there but the one front of us was actively being towed. We were next. It would be great if they extended the parking hours another 15 minutes.
