Washington State Ferries is throwing an appreciation event for its Seattle riders on the Bainbridge and Bremerton sailings Thursday, Oct. 3.

The event is meant as a thank-you to ferry customers for their patience during the recent Colman Dock construction changes.

On the 4:15 p.m. Seattle-to-Bremerton and 4:45 p.m. Seattle-to-Bainbridge sailings, walk-on passengers have the option to pick up a voucher for a free refreshment from the vessel’s galley, courtesy of the Colman Dock Project contractor Hoffman-Pacific.

Colman Dock project staff will also be available to listen to feedback and answer questions about recent access changes and upcoming construction activities.
