Washington State Ferries: Adventure awaits

Washington State Ferries (WSF) is the largest public operating ferry system in the U.S. The iconic ferry boats have been featured in popular shows like Grey’s Anatomy, and taking a ride on one is a rite of passage for any Pacific Northwest newcomers. We spent a day on the Seattle-Bainbridge route taking in the views, learning about the history of the ferries + the challenges the system faces with a lack of maritime workers, and what riders should know about their routes, tickets, and experience aboard. Thanks ‪@wsdot‬ and WSF for letting us ride-along! -------------------------------------------------- For more on the lead story: https://komonews.com/news/local/washi... 00:00 – Introduction 01:30 – Interview with Brian Vail, WSF Communications 02:00 – History of Washington State Ferries 03:54 – Staffing Challenges for WSF 06:20 – What does it take to be a Maritime Worker? 08:20 – LOL, Hannah had a moment 08:27 – What are best practices for first-time ferry riders? 09:58 – Our adventure begins 10:27 – M/V Tacoma tour 12:44 – Hannah and Lucia on deck 13:17 – Passengers share their experience 13:34 – Beautiful views arriving at Bainbridge _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: KOMO News on Facebook:   / komonews   KOMO News on Twitter:   / komonews   KOMO News on Instagram:   / komo4   KOMO News on TikTok:   / komo4seattle   Subscribe to KOMO on YouTube:    / @komonews   Watch more top local news stories:    • Видео   For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.komonews.com/ Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://komonews.com/watch Download our iOS App: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/komo-...
