Due to new Homeland Security measures, revised procedures for scouting and filming are in place. Please contact Jim Fletcher, Tara Decrow or the Washington State Film Office 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 on-line (web site listed above), contact the WSF Information Center (206-464-6400), or the Washington State Film Office for the latest ferry schedules. The Film Office also can provide a list of privately owned ferries which can be hired for filming or to transport your crew.
