Whatcom County Public Works says their passenger-only ferry will run through midnight on Friday, June 14 ending at Gooseberry Point.

The Whatcom Chief is scheduled to resume full service on Saturday, June 15 at 4 p.m.

All ferry service will be halted for most of Saturday from midnight until 4 p.m. for the changeover.

Any vehicles in general parking along the queue road to each terminal and in the ferry gangway need to be moved by the end of the day on Friday.
