Due to new Homeland Security measures, revised procedures for scouting and filming are in place. Please contact Jim Fletcher, Tara Decrow, or Washington Filmworks for more information.

With advanced notice, filming and transportation of film crews on state ferries is permitted during regularly scheduled ferry runs. Allow four business days to process required property use agreements and film permits. Administrative and other fees may apply depending on the scope of your project. Washington State Ferries (WSF) is unable to alter ferry sailing schedules. Contact WSF at the numbers above for film permits on state ferries. You may look online (web site listed above), call the WSF Information Center (206-464-6400), or contact Washington Filmworks for the latest ferry schedules.

Washington Filmworks can also provide a list of privately owned ferries, which can be hired for filming or to transport your crew.
