Question

What's this ferry all about?

Answer

The Mukilteo-Clinton Ferry is a 15 minute ride and runs every 30 minutes. This route is primarily a drive-on car ferry with walk on & bike on options. Look out for the ferry queue of cars waiting on the right shoulder of the roadway and posted signage. During peak commuting hours in the AM & PM, and especially busy weekends, please plan for extra waiting time and the possibility of ferry delays (~2 hours to downtown Seattle)!
