A pre-application neighborhood meeting via video teleconference has been scheduled to introduce the potential project described below.

PROJECT LOCATION: Guemes Island Ferry Terminal – located at the north end of I Ave
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: To support anticipated ridership through 2060 and to limit environmental impacts of the ferry service, Skagit County is replacing the current vessel with a battery-electric vessel.
