FerryRez watches Washington State Ferries vehicle reservations for you and sends a push notification the moment a sold-out sailing opens up. Please note: FerryRez is invite-only. Creating an account requires a registration code from a current member, so make sure you have a code before you sign up. Reservations on the busy WSDOT routes (the San Juan Islands, Port Townsend / Coupeville, and more) sell out fast and reopen unpredictably as other travelers change plans. Instead of refreshing the reservation site all day, track the sailings you want and let FerryRez do the watching. When space appears, you get an alert and can reserve right away on the official Washington State Ferries website. HOW IT WORKS - Search for the route, date, and sailing you want. - Tap to track it.
