Jammed roads, busy airports: Labor Day weekend travel starts ... now!
EVERETT — This weekend is not the best time to say, “Hey, let’s ferry over to the islands before it’s too late.”
-snip-
Washington State Ferries expects 400,000 people aboard Thursday through Tuesday in what could be the system’s busiest summer since 2019. Saturday is expected to be the peak travel day on ferries.
Travel surges over Labor Day weekend by sea, street and sky as people chase the last fling of summer.
Even with gas at about $5 a gallon in Washington, many will hit the road.
