WA State Ferries, what size and what are they?

Thought everyone might be interested in this subject since Chief and I have been posting comments about it for more than a year.

Here is a link to the vessel size and names of all of our WSF in the system. (They may not all be in the Puget Sound Waterway..)

Here is a page of what each of the names of the vessel names mean:

So in the near future, if your reading MORE and MORE press from Olympia about how bad the Washington State Ferries are and want to know more about what they're talking about, please take a look at these sites.

I also want to mention that this is a hot potato in Olympia right now with the failure of four ferries and two others (hiyu was the latest one.) with rust or other problems.

These ferries are going to be fighting for state funding just like the Columbia River Crossing and other state projects that are vying for a for the very little state money we do have.
