About the Kingston – Edmonds crossing
Twenty-one departures run every day, from 06:25 to 23:10. Around that core sit five more, each on its own calendar: 00:15 on Fridays, 04:45 Monday to Saturday, 05:30 Monday to Friday, 21:10 on all days but Friday and Saturday, and 22:30 on Fridays and Sundays.
The night boats change with the day
Between nine at night and half past five in the morning, four different day groups are in play. That is where this timetable catches people out: the late sailing that exists on a Thursday is not the one that exists on a Friday.
Thirty minutes across Puget Sound
The crossing covers 4.7 nautical miles between the Kitsap Peninsula and the mainland north of Seattle. At half an hour it is one of the quicker Washington State Ferries runs, and the frequency reflects a route carrying commuters in both directions.
A seasonal schedule
The current plan runs to 19 September 2026. Washington State Ferries replaces timetables wholesale on fixed dates, so the conditional sailings above are as stable as the daily ones until that changeover.
