Which sailing can you make?
This works forward from the time now to the next sailing you can still reach, then backward to when you should leave home.
Example. To catch the 1:35 PM sailing from Edmonds to Kingston with a 25 minute drive to the dock, leave home about 12:50 PM. That reaches the tollbooth 20 minutes ahead, which is what WSF advises for a drive-up vehicle. Change the drive or direction below for your own trip.

Questions people ask
How early should I arrive for the Edmonds / Kingston ferry?
Washington State Ferries advises drive-up vehicles reach the tollbooth about 20 minutes before the scheduled sailing, and more on summer weekends and holidays. The tool above adds that 20 minute buffer to your drive time and tells you when to leave home for a specific sailing.
What time is the first and last Edmonds / Kingston sailing today?
From Edmonds today, the first sailing is 5:35 AM and the last is 11:45 PM. The full timetable in both directions is on this page. Sailing times are the published WSF schedule for Edmonds / Kingston; check WSF for holiday and alert changes.
Is there space for my car on the next boat?
Where WSF publishes per-sailing vehicle space, this page shows the drive-up car spaces left on each departure, checked at the last rebuild. It is a snapshot, not a moment-by-moment counter, so treat it as guidance and arrive early on a busy sailing. Reservations, where the route offers them, are made through WSF.
How long does the Edmonds / Kingston crossing take?
WSF does not publish the crossing duration for this route in its schedule feed, so we do not state one rather than guess. The leave-by time above is unaffected either way, since it depends on when you must be at the dock, not on the sail time.
Schedule, vessel positions and terminal vehicle space: Washington State Ferries (WSDOT) API, fetched 12:24 PM Pacific time on the last rebuild. Sailing times are the published timetable for 2026-08-24; vessel and space readings are baked at build time, not a moment-by-moment counter, so this page never claims second-by-second liveness. The boarding buffer is a modelled assumption from WSF's own advice. How these numbers are made. Page rebuilt 24 August 2026.
