King County Water Taxi service to West Seattle will be temporarily suspended on Monday, March 24 and Tuesday, March 25 while maintenance crews make repairs to the Seacrest Dock.

Water Taxi sailings to Vashon will continue during this time.

The work to the floats at the dock is to repair damage caused by recent weather. The repairs include refastening pile guides to the docking float and replacement of pile guide bushings.

The work is being done prior to the start of the summer sailing season that begins in mid-April.

Transit options available during the closure include:

• King County Metro RapidRide C Line , RapidRide H Line and Route 21 connect West Seattle to downtown Seattle. These routes use a bus stop in downtown Seattle close to the King County Water Taxi’s Pier 50 terminal at Alaskan Way and Columbia Street.
• The RapidRide C Line also connects riders to the Washington State Ferry Fauntleroy Terminal, which serves Vashon Island.
• Metro Route 128 connects the Admiral District, Morgan Junction, High Point, Delridge, South Seattle College and White Center.
• Metro Route 50 connects West Seattle – including North Delridge, the Alaska Junction, the Admiral District and Alki Beach – to Link light rail at SODO.
• The free Metro water taxi shuttles to and from the dock at Seacrest Park will continue to run during the closure. Route 773 serves the West Seattle junction. Route 775 serves the Admiral District and Alki.
