State ferry fares set to rise for drivers and walk-ons
OLYMPIA — Prepare to fork out a little more for a trip on a ferry.
On Tuesday, the state Transportation Commission recommended an across-the-board fare increase to cover the costs of Washington State Ferries for the next two years.
Fares for vehicles and walk-ons would rise 2.5% on Oct. 1 and another 2.5% on Oct. 1, 2022, under the proposal endorsed unanimously by the commission’s seven citizen members.
The change would add about 40 cents each year to a one-way vehicle fare on the Edmonds-Kingston route and a little less than that for the Mukilteo-Clinton route. It will increase prices for vehicle passengers and walk-ons by about 20 cents each year.
