Wahkiakum County Ferry
The Wahkiakum County Ferry is a ferry that crosses the lower Columbia River between the U.S. states of Washington and Oregon, and is the last regularly scheduled car ferry to cross the Columbia River between the two states. The ferry ''Wahkiakum'' has been operated by Wahkiakum County, Washington since 1962〔(Wahkiakum County Public Works Department )〕 and runs between Cathlamet, Washington and Westport, Oregon. According to the Wahkiakum Chamber of Commerce, the ferry holds nine cars, and a ride across the Columbia takes about ten minutes.〔(Discover the Northwest: Picture-perfect Cathlamet, Washington )〕
The ferry is located at the terminus of State Route 409, and actually departs from Puget Island, Washington, which the Julia Butler Hansen Bridge links to the mainland. SR 409 is a spur from State Route 4, and the ferry thus connects that highway to U.S. Route 30 in Oregon. Its status as an extension of SR 409 is why the state of Washington since 1969 has provided financial support for operation of the ferry.〔(The little ferry that could )〕
The ferry runs hourly (on the hour from the Washington side and 15 minutes after the hour from the Oregon side) from 5 a.m.-10:15 p.m. 365 days a year. Lunch time service is sometimes interrupted.
A new Puget Island terminal was constructed in 2009-2010 after the state of Washington declared the existing structure deficient.〔(Wahkiakum County lands $590,000 for Puget Island ferry terminal project )〕 It was paid for in part with federal stimulus funds.
