WATER TAXI ALERT: West Seattle, Vashon service ‘temporarily reduced’ starting Monday

Again on Tuesday, Metro introduced M/V Doc Maynard had gone out of service on the West Seattle Water Taxi route due to propeller harm. Now it’s occurred to at the least one different boat and meaning “briefly diminished” WT service for each West Seattle and Vashon. Right here’s the replace we acquired a short while in the past:

Service on the King County Water Taxi West Seattle and Vashon routes might be briefly diminished starting Monday, Nov. 28, resulting from mechanical harm to our boats’ propellers attributable to submerged particles within the water. We apologize for the inconvenience and admire your endurance. The repairs could take a number of days.

As quickly as a shipyard has the provision to carry out repairs, we’ll return to common service. We’ll share schedule updates because the boats are repaired.

West Seattle service might be diminished by two runs within the morning and night. Noon service will proceed to function to and from West Seattle. One run will function within the morning and night to and from Vashon.

Right here’s the mixed momentary morning/night schedule for BOTH routes – once more, Metro says the noon West Seattle schedule will NOT be affected:

Now we have a followup query out to ask which different boats are going into repairs and which might be left to run the diminished schedule.
