A lack of crew has forced Washington State ferries to suspend its Sidney-to-Anacortes ferry until at least the end of summer. The service carried 135,000 people in 2019 before the border was closed to non-essential travel between the US and Canada at the start of the pandemic.
 
“International service to and from Sidney, BC remains suspended until further notice due to continued significant crewing and vessel availability challenges,” reads a statement by the Washington State Department of Transportation.
