Mukilteo-Clinton route car capacity downsized again

MUKILTEO — The Mukilteo-Clinton ferry route was downsized by 60 vehicles Monday morning when the 64-car M/V Salish took the place of the 124-car M/V Kitsap.

The Kitsap was moved to the route between Seattle, Vashon Island and Southworth when a vessel on that route was removed for planned maintenance, Washington State Ferries spokesperson Ian Sterling said.

Drivers were encouraged to arrive at the terminals early, according to a statement from the ferry system. Sterling hopes a larger vessel will be back on the Mukilteo route within a “week or two.”

“It’s the lesser of all evils, it’s not the greatest situation,” Sterling said. “There’s truly just not enough boats.”
