After a steering system failure on the M/V Salish on Sunday, the Seattle-Bremerton ferry route will be down to just one-boat service starting June 1.
The boat is anticipated to return later this week, once those repairs are completed. In the meantime, Washington State Ferries warns passengers to plan ahead and give themselves extra travel time as there “will likely be delays during peak travel times.”
Starting tomorrow 6/1, 1-boat service on #Seattle/#Bremerton (using #2 #Chimacum) due to #1 #Salish steering system failure Sunday. #Spokane (recently pulled from service for maintenance starting tomorrow) filling in today for #MemorialDayWeekend travel. https://t.co/FTynPqDFtWpic.twitter.com/kvd0yQ71xF
