THANKSGIVING FERRY ADVISORY FROM WSF

We’re expecting around 300,000 people to travel on our ferries this Thanksgiving holiday period. Even with added service in recent years, customers boarding a ferry in a vehicle should still prepare for the possibility of long waits at terminals.

On Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 27, the Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth ferry will run on a holiday schedule and the Point Defiance/Tahlequah ferry will have a few holiday schedule changes.

Busy travel times
Westbound (or onto an island) sailings on Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 26-27
All sailings on Friday, Nov. 28
Eastbound (or off island) sailings on Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 29-30

Prepare for long lines and extended wait times. To help with wait times, consider taking an early morning or late-night sailing or by using transit to walk or bike onto the ferry if possible.

WEIRD NEWS:
The Great Seattle-to-Tacoma Burger Quest

On a cloudless October Tuesday -- the 14th, of 2025 to be exact -- one man set off from Ballard to Tacoma – deciding the only thing standing between him and a good burger was nearly forty miles of walking, two ferry rides, and an alarming amount of time alone with his thoughts.

Meet Neal, a local Redditor who embarked on what he calls Burger Quest — this year, his 4th annual pilgrimage, which starts at The Sloop Tavern in Ballard and ends all the way at Frisko Freeze in Tacoma.

Now, Voice of Vashon’s Classic Rock and Beyond Weird News team is thrilled to bring you an exclusive interview with the legend himself, Neal, to learn more about his epic annual quest.
