‘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.
