Terminals
Southworth / Vashon, common questions
How early should I arrive for the Southworth / Vashon ferry?
Washington State Ferries advises drive-up vehicles reach the tollbooth about 20 minutes before the scheduled sailing, and more on summer weekends and holidays. The tool above adds that 20 minute buffer to your drive time and tells you when to leave home for a specific sailing.
What time is the first and last Southworth / Vashon sailing today?
From Vashon Island today, the first sailing is 12:15 AM and the last is 11:00 PM. The full timetable in both directions is on this page. Sailing times are the published WSF schedule for Southworth / Vashon; check WSF for holiday and alert changes.
Is there space for my car on the next boat?
Where WSF publishes per-sailing vehicle space, this page shows the drive-up car spaces left on each departure, checked at the last rebuild. It is a snapshot, not a moment-by-moment counter, so treat it as guidance and arrive early on a busy sailing. Reservations, where the route offers them, are made through WSF.
How long does the Southworth / Vashon crossing take?
WSF does not publish the crossing duration for this route in its schedule feed, so we do not state one rather than guess. The leave-by time above is unaffected either way, since it depends on when you must be at the dock, not on the sail time.
