Public invited to community meetings and online open house
SEATTLE – Washington State Ferries needs to replace the aging Fauntleroy ferry terminal to maintain safe and reliable ferry service for the 3 million people who travel the “Triangle” route between West Seattle, Vashon Island and the Kitsap Peninsula each year.
WSF will host two virtual public meetings and an online open house to share draft concepts, or alternatives, for replacing the terminal. The ferry system plans to select a single alternative later this year for additional environmental review and design. The meetings and online open house will also provide an overview of the project timeline and a chance for members of the public to share questions and input with WSF.
