‘This is a problem.' Ferry service cuts prompt outcry on Pierce County island

Proposed service cuts to the Anderson Island ferry in 2027, including on weekends, holidays and both early and late daily runs, have prompted outcry from residents who say rates are increasing despite a reduction in service. More than 700 people filled out a recent survey about the proposed changes, said Josh Diekmann, the director of Pierce County’s Planning and Public Works Department. In a statement Thursday, Diekmann said staff are “conducting a full analysis of the survey data to prepare an updated schedule,” which will be presented along with survey results to the Anderson Island Community Advisory Board later this month. “While that analysis is still underway, we have heard the community’s concerns clearly — particularly regarding the proposed Sunday schedule and two-boat service changes. We have also received feedback from first responders who serve Anderson Island, and we are closely evaluating how our proposed schedule can be adjusted,” Diekmann said. “We’re seeing maintenance needs increase significantly for our two ferries as they age. The initial schedule proposal was developed to direct more of our ferry program’s limited resources toward critical maintenance work and provide more reliable day-to-day service. We know that any schedule change can have real impacts on

SURVEY: West Seattle Junction Association wants your thoughts on SW Alaska’s possibly semi-carless future

As a followup to last week’s walking tour (WSB coverage here) about SDOT‘s plan for Junction street changes when light rail arrives, the West Seattle Junction Association wants your thoughts on the plan. SDOT first circulated its concepts in a survey on which we reported in 2024. Nested in that 2024 survey – as detailed in this PDF we obtained at the time – were the stirrings of some potentially dramatic changes to SW Alaska, also seen on page 46 in this SDOT document. That in particular is what WSJA is focusing on with their new survey, which they asked us to share with you. Answer the new WSJA survey here.

Light Rail Brings Changes to Mercer Island

Since the Light Rail opened this March, Mercer Island has seen an increase in pedestrian traffic and changes in how police monitor and respond to activity around downtown MI. The Mercer Island Police Department has created a Town Center Officer Unit (TCO) to address light rail concerns, and coordinated with Sound Transit for station tours to familiarize officers with the layout. The City and Department determined at least two officers should focus on the downtown and the light rail station. The MIPD’s patrol strategy has remained mostly the same, however the TCO Unit reduces the size of the area needing that attention.
