However, I was able to make reservations for myself this morning. If you are driving or may be driving, I suggest you make your reservations now. <a href="https://secureapps.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries/reservations/vehicle/default.aspx?op=Make+reservations" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Here</a> is the link to the WSF reservation site.You can make reservations as a guest, but I encourage you to set up an account. It makes it easier to keep track of your reservations and to cancel them if you do not need them. As long as you cancel by 5pm the day before your sailing, there is no no-show fee. Otherwise the no-show fee is $10.</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">If you plan to arrive on Whidbey via Port Townsend, you will need a reservation. Alternatively, you could come via the Mukilteo-Clinton ferry. This is a large commuter ferry and does not take reservations. You just get in line and wait your turn. If you don't want to take a ferry at all, you can drive farther north and get to Whidbey via Deception Pass although this will add a couple of hours to your trip.</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">If you are taking a vehicle to Port Townsend on Sunday, you will want to be on the 11:45am sailing.When we are done on Sunday, I drive back to Portland from Port Townsend via US-101. If you want to return by a different route, you will also need a return reservation.</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" dir="auto"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" dir="auto">Let Ted or I know if you have questions.</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Best Regards, Brian</div></div></div></div>
