Starting Monday, November 28, services on the King County Water Taxi West Seattle route will be temporarily decreased due to mechanical damage to the boats’ propellers.

The damage was caused by debris that was submerged within the water.

When the shipyard has the availability to provide repairs, they plan on returning to regular service and will share schedule updates as the boats are repaired.

West Seattle service will be reduced by two runs in the morning and evening. Midday service will continue to operate to and from West Seattle.
