King County, Washington sent this bulletin at 10/28/2020 09:53 PM PDT

West Seattle Water Taxi canceled through tomorrow morning while a repair assessment is completed at Seacrest Park.

An inspection at the Seacrest dock identified concerns that one of the pins connecting the gangway to the shore is damaged. Out of an abundance of caution, until a repair can be completed, service on the West Seattle route has been canceled tomorrow morning until an assessment of the damage can be completed. The Vashon route of the King County Water Taxi will continue to operate normal service.
