Those planning on taking the ferry to the Mariners game may need to find a different route.

Washington State Ferries (WSF) is expecting service disruptions that could impact all routes due to a shortage of crew, the agency reported Friday afternoon.

WSF recommended people take public transportation or walk-on if possible.

“Expect extensive delays returning home after the game,” the agency wrote.

WSF advised travelers to check the Washington State Department of Transportation’s real-time map for updates.
