SEATTLE – Keep a look out for the new state ferry Salish this week as it completes builder’s sea trials in Puget Sound. The vessel is expected to begin serving the Port Townsend-Coupeville route this summer, restoring full two-boat service to the route for the first time since 2007.
Contractor Todd Pacific Shipyards is conducting sea trials to demonstrate the vessel to U.S. Coast Guard and WSDOT Ferries Division (WSF) inspectors before WSF accepts delivery of the vessel. Later this spring, WSF crews will begin operational training and familiarization with the Salish on the Port Townsend/Coupeville route to get the vessel ready to sail this summer. “We’re pleased to be getting this vessel on the water for its initial sea trials on schedule and on budget,” said Steve Welch, President.
“These sea trials bring the state one step closer to getting a second new ferry into service,” said David Moseley, assistant secretary for WSF. “Much like our friends in Port Townsend and Whidbey Island, we look forward to the Salish restoring full service on the route.”
The Salish’s sister ship, the Chetzemoka, began service on the Port Townsend-Coupeville route in November 2010

This was an early morning shot of the Deception Pass Bridge that connects Whidbey Island with the main land. It was foggy, so the water isn’t visible, but this area is one of the most beautiful sights you will ever see. Whidbey is just 20 minutes from Port Townsend by ferry, and a great day trip for our guests.

Ed is very friendly, loves our guests and vice versa. He and Jin are the best of friends, and stay with “Grandma & Grandpa” most days while the kids go off to work. How did that happen, anyway?!!
We love this family portrait taken by Ryan P. Burns. Our middle daughter Bonnie, “baby Ed”, and future son-in-law Rickey.
