Port Townsend: More ferry runs canceled over low tides

Published 12:01 am Thursday, December 19, 2002

Washington State Ferries is altering the run schedule between Port Townsend and Keystone for the next two weeks due to low tides.

Low tides are prompting the cancelation of the 6:45 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. runs to Keystone today as well as the 7:30 p.m. return trip.

An extra run from Port Townsend to Keystone will take place at 8:40 p.m.

On Friday, the 8:30 p.m. sailing and the 9:15 p.m. return trip have been replaced by a 9:15 p.m. sailing and 9:45 p.m. return trip.

Low tides will prompt cancellations of some sailings and return trips Dec. 29, Dec. 30 and Dec. 31 as well.

Low tides combine with cross-currents at Keystone to make docking difficult.
