Guemes Island Ferry Ticket Expiration Policy
Skagit County is aware of the complaints submitted regarding the expiration policy of Guemes Island ferry punch cards.
We're thrilled to announce the launch of our new electronic ticketing system, provided by Anchor. Anchor's prestigious clientele includes Pierce County Ferries, San Francisco Bay Ferry, NYC Ferry, Fisher Island Ferry, and many more.
Soon you'll have the convenience of pre-purchasing ferry tickets via Skagit County's website using Anchor's user-friendly, mobile-ready platform. Upon purchase, you'll receive a QR code, simplifying boarding procedures.
For those who prefer in-person transactions, tickets will still be available at the ferry office in Anacortes, located within the main lobby of the terminal building. Acceptable forms of payment at the ferry terminal include credit, debit, contactless (apple pay and google pay). No cash will be accepted at the ferry terminal; however, in-person cash payments can be accepted at 1800 Continental Place, Mount Vernon, WA, M-F 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

PARKING NOTICE
Recently, we closed the small parking lot within the Anacortes ferry terminal area for a lighting project. Thank you for your compliance with the closure. However, we will need to reschedule the work for another time due to unforeseen circumstances. Therefore, the parking lot is re-open. We will do our best to give plenty of notice for the rescheduled work.
