Attention ferry travelers: That motorcycle is not cutting in line

MUKILTEO — That guy on the Harley is not cutting in line.

Two wheels go before four wheels on the ferry.

Motorcycles and bicycles follow different rules than cars for boarding ferries. On most sailings, they bypass the ferry wait lines for cars and get priority loading and unloading.

Not only that, they pay less than cars and other big honking vehicles because they take up less room. Space on a ferry is valuable real estate.

I started using the ferry system in the early 80s, and it's been that way since at least then. Probably much longer.
