The Whatcom Chief will be out of service from 10:10 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Wednesday, August 2, to inspect and maintain the ferry terminal facilities at both Lummi Island and Gooseberry Point. 

• The last morning run from the Gooseberry Point side will be 9:50 a.m., and the last morning run from the Lummi Island side will be 10 a.m.
• In order to fully inspect the terminal facilities, no additional runs will be made after the 10 a.m. run from Lummi Island. 
• Public Works is now scheduling inspection and maintenance approximately every two months.
• Inspection and maintenance activities are weather-dependent, and the times and/or date may change if necessary.  If schedule changes occur, updates will be posted at www.whatcomcounty.us/ferry.

The Public Works Department would like to thank everyone for their cooperation and patience during this necessary inspection and maintenance.
