SEATTLE — A sinkhole caused by a sewer pipe collapse is slowing ferry traffic at the Port Townsend terminal.
The city of Port Townsend reported on its Facebook page that a sinkhole had opened on Water Street south of the intersection before the terminal area.
The sinkhole developed late Friday night.
Traffic to the terminal is down to one lane in both directions while crews work to repair the road before the Wooden Boat Festival, which brings lots of travelers every year.
Customers are asked to use caution when approaching the terminal and may need to allow extra time to get to the terminal, the Washington State Department of Transportation stated in its update on the incident.
