New water taxi terminal reinforces our strong commitment to fast, reliable marine transit
I was joined by community leaders from both sides of Puget Sound to open our new water taxi terminal at Pier 50, reinforcing our strong commitment to fast, reliable marine transit.
The well-built terminal – certified Platinum under the King County Green Building Program – underscores our drive to expand passenger ferry service that connects more people to the best opportunities that our vibrant region has to offer.
Combined, people boarded King County Water Taxis and Kitsap Fast Ferries more than one million times last year. Given the fact that water taxis never get stuck in traffic and offer spectacular views, it’s not surprising that more people are choosing marine transit. That is why we have made it part of our regional transportation network, offering seamless connections across land and sea.
Central Puget Sound – once a collection of isolated communities – has grown into a true metropolitan region, requiring reliable, convenient transit service for more commuters. Our new terminal positions us to meet that growing demand, offering an unmatched customer experience for the people of King and Kitsap counties.
Thank you, as always, for the opportunity to serve.
Sincerely,
Dow Constantine
King County Executive
