Worth knowing

Why both, on one page

Port Townsend sits at the tip of the Quimper Peninsula, and the Hood Canal Bridge and the Coupeville ferry are its two ways across the water to the rest of Puget Sound. When the bridge closes — for wind, a submarine opening, or repair work — the ferry is the fallback; when the ferry is cancelled or full, the bridge is. Knowing both at a glance is the point of this page.

A closure isn't a detour — it's the day

If the bridge is shut and there's no ferry space, the only way around is the long drive south around Hood Canal through Shelton and back up the Kitsap side — a couple of hours added each way. That's why residents check before they leave, not when they arrive at a closed span.
