Ferry Service Between Port Townsend and Seattle
The ferry between Port Townsend and Seattle is scheduled to end on January 6th.
There's a petition being circulated to persuade Washington State Ferries officials to keep this ferry service running permanently. Here's a link to the petition.
Kyle Montgomery is a Port Ludlow resident who's been commuting to Seattle for ten years via Bainbridge Island. He's been leading the campaign in King, Jefferson and Clallam Counties to make the ferry service permanent. He said: “The message to Clallam County and to the West is here is an opportunity for Port Townsend to be the gateway instead of congested Bainbridge or Kitsap County.”
It’s questionable whether the State of Washington could or would come up with the money for this, even if there are enough petition signatures. But getting to Seattle via Port Townsend would be a lot easier than driving to Bainbridge Island.
