Make Your Voice Heard!

Fix Our Ferries Lobby Days

The 2025 Washington legislative session runs January 13 - April 27. That's a small amount of time to support a big agenda. Plan to join us in Olympia for Fix Our Ferries lobby days. What happens at lobby days? We invite ferry affected residents to join us in Olympia to rally, meet with legislators, and demonstrate how committed our communities are to fixing our ferries. We need every voice at our capitol speaking out. Our next lobby days will be held in early April. Sign up for action alerts and stayed tuned to join us this spring! 

Advocates from across the Puget Sound meet with Senate Transportation Chair Mark Liias.

February Lobby Days: 20+ advocates take the case to the capitol

  A diverse cross-section of advocates participated in the regional push, including county commissioners and council members, Ferry Advisory Committee representatives, and business and community leaders from Vashon Island, Kitsap County, Island County, San Juan County, and Bainbridge Island. Over the course of the three days communities met with over 15 legislators and policy makers. Read coverage from the Vashon delegation in the Vashon Beachcomber, and from the San Juans at San Juans Today. San Juans Today also includes extended coverage and interviews with advocates in the video following the article.

Advocates from Vashon and the San Juans meet with Representative Greg Nance.
