One thing Washington State Ferries does not publish

The fare page lists both a fare for a standard vehicle under 22 feet and a fare for a vehicle under 30 feet over 7 feet 2 inches. It does not state which one applies to a vehicle that is under 22 feet and also over 7 feet 2 inches, which describes many camper vans. We are not going to guess it. Check your own route and date on the Washington State Ferries fare page before you travel.

What to do before you book

Use this crossing to close an Olympic Peninsula loop rather than backtracking to Edmonds, and price it from the band your rental actually falls in.
