If you rely on state ferries to get around, the cost of your commute will rise again next week.
Washington State Ferries (WSF) will increase ticket prices by 4% on Tuesday, October 1.
The change affects every route.
It’s something the agency warned us about last year when it hiked prices by another 4%.
The new transportation budget calls for state ferries to generate about $419 million in revenue by 2025.
According to the Washington State Transportation Commission, the fees fund 57% of WSF’s operations and maintenance.

WSF says Tuesday is also the first day that no high season vehicle surcharge applies.
In May, round-trip prices rose by almost $10. A round trip from Edmonds to Kingston will cost a couple with a standard car just under $60. The price is the same for a round trip between Bremerton and Seattle.
The surcharge will take effect again from May 1.
