Pierce County ferry riders in large vehicles - such as an RV, commercial truck or a vehicle towing a trailer - should plan ahead to avoid low tides from May 22-29. Load restrictions will be in place on some sailings, and the rider may be asked to postpone their trip until a later sailing. Ticket agents and crews will be checking all large vehicles and all vehicles towing trailers that arrive during sailings affected by low tides. Although some large vehicles may be loaded, operations will be conservatively managed to avoid damage to vehicles, ramps, and ferries. Ferry riders may call Captain Paul Crow, Marine Superintendent, at (253) 588-5290 to discuss various options if travel is planned during low tide. Restrictions on large vehicles may be in place during the following low tide timeframes:
- May 22: 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- May 23: 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
- May 24: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
- May 25: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
