Parsons and Washington State Ferries Launch Wi-Fi Service Dockside at Anacortes

PASADENA, Calif., May 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Parsons and Washington State Ferries today announced the commencement of Wi-Fi services at the Anacortes ferry terminal. Service will be available to users both in the terminal and automobile holding areas.

"We're pleased that we could activate Wi-Fi service for Anacortes in time for the impending crowd of summer visitors bound for the San Juan Islands," said Bob Davis, Parsons Vice President. "It is our goal to make Wi-Fi as convenient and accessible to as many travelers as possible."

Parsons also recently revised Wi-Fi rates and plans to provide ferry users with a full range of service options. The new plans offer a single, two-hour session at $3.95; packages of five, ten, or twenty sessions can bring the two-hour session cost down to $1.50; and unlimited one-day or one-month plans provide further value options.

In addition to the new Anacortes terminal service, Wi-Fi service is available aboard ferries on the Seattle/Bremerton, Seattle/Bainbridge, Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth, Edmonds/Kingston, and the Mukilteo/Clinton routes. Full Wi-Fi service is also provided at the terminals and holding areas on these routes.
