Washington State Ferries
Summary of Study
An Update Study on the League of Women Voters of Washington transportation positions with a focus on the Washington ferry system.
Tourists visiting Puget Sound take a ride on a ferry—perhaps the number one tourist attraction in Washington, pictured on brochures and postcards, and as much of an icon as the Space Needle. Farmers from across the state send their produce to island communities by ferry. Thousands commute to work by ferry, many walking or biking on, leaving cars at home or in park and ride lots. But it is mainly those residing in ferry communities who are aware of the precarious financial situation facing the Washington State Ferries. This study is intended to serve as a first look at the Washington State Ferries System as it exists today and how we arrived at this place.
