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 ....

SEATTLE People traveling across Puget Sound can expect delays this summer, because last month’s fire aboard the ferry Wenatchee has forced the state to use smaller vessels than normal on several routes.
Washington State Ferries is operating 18 vessels instead of the usual summer fleet of 19 boats.
Besides a reduced number of ferries, state officials say crew shortages and quarantines related to COVID-19 further limit capacity, just as peak travel season begins. Lower-capacity schedules take effect Thursday night. ....

Just as more people travel again, state ferry service on five runs is about to take a hit.
The large ferry Wenatchee could be out of service for months after a newly rebuilt engine failed and started a fire during a sea trial.
With few backup options, Washington State Ferries plans to shuffle boats starting May 13, which means smaller-capacity boats on several runs.
“When you lose one of your superstars, this is one of the state’s largest ferries, there’s going to be a trickle-down effect,” said WSF spokesman Ian Sterling. ....
