1:11 PM: For the next few hours, we are at Seacrest to update you on the Water Taxi status as hundreds head downtown for Seattle’s final World Cup match. 140 were already in line when our team member arrived a short time ago, so don’t procrastinate if you’re headed here. (Everybody made it onto the run that just left – Doc Maynard’s capacity is 279. Its twin Sally Fox is serving the route today too.)
1:21 PM: Sally Fox arrived a few minutes ago, with only about 45 in line.
That run left at 1:31 pm.
1:52 PM: Doc Maynard is leaving at capacity.
We never got an answer to our question about extra shuttles; those appear to be arriving at capacity.
2:22 PM: Sally Fox left a few minutes ago at capacity and Doc Maynard arrived two minutes later. Note that street parking is full for blocks in both directions so have someone drop you off!
2:41 PM: Doc Maynard left five minutes ago at capacity.
3:02 PM: Sally Fox left five minutes ago at capacity, and Doc Maynard arrived four minutes later. So far the “every 20 minutes” promise is being kept.
3:17 PM: Doc Maynard left with room to spare, and the line is getting smaller, so we seem to have hit peak travel volume, with less than two hours left to match time.
3:38 PM: Sally Fox just sailed away with 250 on board, so nobody was left behind.
4:24 PM: We’ve ended dock watch. Doc Maynard left at 4:02 pm, almost at capacity, and Sally Fox sailed at 4:20 with 160 on board. Fighter jets a short time ago, too.
