It is the ferry captain’s job to get dressed in uniform every morning and take the wheel of one of the state’s 22 ferries. This Halloween is a day like any other for Washington State Ferries captains, except they’re expecting a few witches, ghosts, goblins and maybe a junior captain or two to join them aboard several afternoon sailings.

On Monday, Oct. 31, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. WSF is encouraging all walk-on customers, young and old, to come aboard dressed for Halloween. On all sailings during this time, the captain or a crewmember will watch from the wheelhouse and select their favorite costume from the walk-on passengers. The lucky winner will be invited up to the wheelhouse to meet the captain for a behind-the-scenes tour of the ferry.
