'The worst it's ever been': Vashon residents voice frustrations with troubled ferry route

State legislators are probably going to get an earful yet again from Vashon Island residents about the major issues many of them see on their ferry route that runs from Fauntleroy to Vashon and Southworth.

On Monday morning, an issue with a ferry forced it to leave the Fauntleroy-Vashon-Southworth route to unload vehicles at Pier 52 in Seattle.

The issues on this ferry line have been a point of complaint for years — long lines of vehicles at Fauntleroy are common, so much so that an entire Facebook group is dedicated to it and other issues on the ferry route.

Many ferry riders have also complained that at times, boats do not travel at full capacity.

So much whining going on. "Many ferry riders have also complained that at times, boats do not travel at full capacity." That's what we call "a schedule" - the boat leaves the dock according to the clock. If your privileged ass is late, you can catch the next boat. Those of us who work for a living and commute by ferry learned that the first day.
