For some, the Fourth of July means five days of vacation. Washington State Ferries expect to be busy throughout the long holiday.
Remember that security measures require the ferry crew to clear the vessel at each port. Those hoping to watch fireworks displays from the deck of a ferry should consider other viewing options, such as on the shore or near the ferry terminals.
An important part of the overall security plan for the ferry system is the use of Washington State Patrol explosive-detection canine teams to screen vehicles. Illegal fireworks on the boats are a big no-no.
Ferry customers in vehicles carrying legal fireworks should allow for screening time and store fireworks where they are easily accessible for examinations.
“Ferry customers are expected to obey laws regarding legal fireworks in Washington state,” says State Patrol Sgt. Craig Johnson.
