Washington State Ferries makes room for pets, paws with new policy launching this summer
SEATTLE — Washington State Ferries says pets have earned a place on board vessels crossing Puget Sound. This was after a test period to see if fur would fly from puppy passengers.
The new rules officially take effect on July 1st.

Between now and then, passengers will be informed of the new guidelines, and permanent signs will be going up.
Under the new rules, pets are allowed in three areas according to WSF.
- On vehicle decks
- In outdoor passenger areas
- And in marked areas inside cabins on the opposite end from the galley
Pets are not allowed in the galley or on passenger seating and tables.
Pet owners can pass through restricted areas but cannot stop.
We are told pet waste stations will be added on board, and owners are responsible for cleaning up after their animals.
If they don’t, or if their pet is out of control, owners will be asked to take their animal to the vehicle deck or an outdoor area.
BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT
But if you have a good dog, it’s now officially ok to be furry on a ferry.

ARLINGTON, Va. — The Washington Capitals re-signed defenseman Timothy Liljegren to a two-year contract worth $6.5 million.
General manager Chris Patrick announced the deal Wednesday. Liljegren will count $3.25 million against the salary cap next season and in 2027-28.
The right-handed-shooting Swede played just four games for the Capitals after they acquired him from San Jose at the trade deadline in early March. He could have a bigger role next season as part of a blue line that is not expected to have John Carlson back after Washington sent the pending free agent to Anaheim on the eve of the deadline.
Now 27, Liljegren has 94 points in 324 regular season and playoff games in the NHL, with the vast majority of that time spent with Toronto.
The biggest question of the offseason for Patrick and the front office is the status of longtime captain, face of the franchise and career goal-scoring record holder Alex Ovechkin, who has not yet declared whether he’ll return for a 22nd season at age 41.
