Compiled by Orcas landing Ferry Terminal crew and Orcas Store crew.
Working with the traveling public at the Orcas Ferry Terminal can be intense and challenging. Once in a while when we are extremely busy with long lines and the task of directing people toward their destinations, someone will ask a question that will change a serious expression to a broad grin and cause us to stop everything and pull out a pen and pad and ask "could you repeat the question so I can write it down?" Well the workers at the Ferry landing thought it was time to share some of the questions most frequently asked and duly recorded. We hope you will get a few laughs out of this list. We sure have!
