Lummi Island is quiet, intimate, and uniquely accessible near Bellingham, Washington. A short ferry crossing reveals a vibrant artist community, legendary dining, and stunning vistas of the Salish Sea.
Late-Night Ferry Service Cancellations August 22–23
The ferry will not run late-night pm Friday, August 22, and Saturday, August 23 after 10:10 pm.
Work to replace the cables at the ferry terminals will require adjustments to the late-night ferry schedule.
On both nights, the last sailing will be the 10:10 pm departure from Gooseberry Point to Lummi Island. After that run, no additional crossings of any kind, including emergencies, will be possible until service resumes with the first scheduled sailing at 7:00 am the following morning from Lummi Island to Gooseberry Point.
