Bremerton -> Seattle Fast Ferry wheelchair section availability

Question

Anyone know how often the Mobility Device (wheelchair, stroller, etc) area on the fast ferry fills up? We are planning on going contra rush hour on a weekday evening, if anyone knows about that specifically.

So, the wheelchair area is 4 chairs along the front center row with mounts on the floor for straps etc. Keep in mind this boat will rock and turn faster than the normal ferry, so mobility chairs need to be strapped in. I've never seen more than one of these spots used at a time- usually by mother's with strollers. The fast ferry has been filling up lately, so plan to get in line 15-20mins early and you should be good. I have also found that if you call ahead of time into the Kitsap Transit customer service line, they can usually contact the crew, get exact details, and sometimes fully prep for your arrival.

Hope this helps!

Yes thanks! Does it fill up outside Rush hour flow on weekdays? I would expect it to fill up on weekends for sure.

If you want, you can call (206) 515-3400 and they should be able to answer your questions.
