Rough seas flood ferry deck in Washington #shorts
Rough seas inundated a ferry traveling near Washington’s San Juan Islands on Tuesday, January 9, filling the deck housing crew member vehicles with water.
Washington State Ferries said the video was filmed by an employee who was helping move the passenger-less vessel to Anacortes, Washington. The waves caused “minimal” damage, Washington State Ferries said.
“We sometimes have waves crashing over the bow, but for this to happen, it is very, very rare,” Washington State Ferries said in a comment on the X post.
Strong winds lashed Washington’s Puget Sound region on Tuesday, as officials warned ferry passengers of bumpy rides.

That must be on the Anacortes San Juan or the Port Townsend Whidby Island run. Been on both when the boats rock. It's unsettling when you understand how large the Washington State ferry boats are
Sure Af wouldn’t be below deck when it turns over
where and who was the captain? All safe?
Hell to the no I seen the Estonia documentary won’t catch me on one of those bad boys
These sort of ferries were banned in Europe see the Zebrugge disaster.
Been here, done it.
Perhaps buddy should get off the car decks since they’re closed to passengers, and get himself behind a closed door that’ll help keep the water on the outside of the boat? 🤦♂️
That how ships capsise
It's the best time to be on a ferry
Salt water is great for cars
Frightening
Woah❗️Never seen this in 50 years of being in Seattle and using ferries daily.
Now picture all that salt water rolling around a few EVs …. we would have had some fireworks to go with the rolling ……
Guess who just won brand new cars?😆👍🏻
What do they expect in bad weather smooth sailing.
