Washington State Ferries prepare for busy summer season, while still facing shortage of boats

Washington State Ferries (WSF) is preparing to see more than 300,000 passengers for Memorial Day Weekend, enough people to fill T-Mobile Park six times.
This is the start of the busy summer season when the ferries see double the number of passengers as they do in the winter. This influx of people comes as the system struggles with a shortage of boats.
Washington State Ferries has 21 boats in its fleet, but only 15 are in service currently. They need 26 boats to have services fully restored.

As a delivery driver, I absolutely refused to go to any of these islands. You always get stuck and can’t make it back home for hours. Build a bridge the residence try to keep everyone out through the fairy system.

No, it’s Inslee’s fault. He’s obsessed with an electric fleet that won’t be ready for another 20 yrs. He also fired a ton of employees for not getting the Fauci Ouchy. It is 100% Inslee’s fault.
