The Whatcom Chief will be out of service from 10:10 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 20, to inspect and maintain the ferry terminal facilities at Lummi Island and Gooseberry Point. During this time, the Coast Guard will also complete its annual safety inspection.
Ferry riders should keep the following in mind for November 20:
- The last morning run from the Gooseberry Point side will be at 9:50 a.m., and the last morning run from the Lummi Island side will be at 10:00 a.m.
- To fully inspect the terminal facilities, no additional runs will be made after the 10:00 a.m. run from Lummi Island.
- Public Works is now scheduling inspection and maintenance approximately every two months.
- Inspection and maintenance activities are weather-dependent. If schedule changes occur, updates will be posted at www.whatcomcounty.us/ferry.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation during this necessary inspection and maintenance.
