Here’s a note from Washington State Ferries…
The brand new 144-car Samish is ready to officially join the fleet. On Friday, April 10, we officially accepted the vessel from builder/contractor Vigor Industrial.
Following two months of sea trials and crew training, the new Olympic Class ferry will begin service on the Anacortes/San Juan Islands route at the start of the summer sailing season on June 14.
We are delighted to take delivery of the Samish, which continues our commitment to replace older vessels and plan ahead for the future. Watch for Samish out on Elliott Bay and at Colman Dock this week before it heads up to Anacortes later this month.
