WATER TAXI ALERT UPDATE: Canceled evening sailings reinstated

4:55 PM: Metro has sent an alert that the 5:25 pm and 6:05 pm West Seattle Water Taxi runs from downtown are canceled, as are the 5:45 and 6:25 pm runs from Seacrest to downtown. “Mechanical problems” are blamed; there are also cancellations for the Vashon Water Taxi and Kitsap Transit Fast Ferry, so we are following up to see whether the “mechanical problems” are with the terminal rather than vessel(s).

6:01 PM: No word on what the problem was, but Metro says the Water Taxi and other vessels are back in service, so the canceled trips are reinstated.

    Does Metro provide a shuttle service to accommodate the affected riders?

      It’s be hard short notice to set up a shuttle that did a lot better than c line to water taxi shuttles for west seattle and c line to Fauntleroy for vashon. Given the c stops a bit over a block away.

Sorry, comment time is over.
