Officials with Washington State Ferries will be coming to Bainbridge Island to get input on passenger fairs, the ferry system’s long-range plan and other topics of interest to islanders.

The meeting is one in a series of community gatherings that will be held across Puget Sound in May.

“We not only want to provide excellent service, we want to be good neighbors to the communities we serve,” said WSF Assistant Secretary Amy Scarton. “I’m looking forward to sharing what’s ahead for the future of ferries and hearing from our customers about how we can continue to improve.”

Each meeting will include a brief presentation and then an opportunity for members of the public to ask questions or share comments.

A total of nine open houses are planned.

The community meeting on Bainbridge Island is planned for 6 p.m. Thursday, May 9 at the Waterfront Park Community Center, 370 Brien Drive SE.

Two other open houses will be held in Kitsap County: 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 8 at the Kitsap Conference Center, 100 Washington Ave., Bremerton; and 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 21 at Harper Church, 10384 SE Sedgwick Road, Port Orchard.
