It was quiet on this Saturday at Ship Harbor, site of the state ferry terminal in Anacortes. A Canada goose paddles toward the beach, a recreational boater and the state ferry Elwha in the background. There were only a few cars in the terminal parking lot.

Prop job
State vessel “Sealth” left Anacortes last week and the “Elwha” slipped in right after her. Dakota Creek Industries (DCI) has the state ferry in drydock at the north end of Commercial Avenue. Work Monday afternoon included a cleaning of a giant Elwha propeller.

Stay the course
Historic elements of state ferrying days gone by include this ship’s wheel mounted in the bow area of the Elwha. Old equipment is also mounted on a wall inside the ferry terminal at Ship’s Harbor in Anacortes.

Just a few weeks ago, this front row bench on the bow of the state ferry Elwha would have been filled with passengers eager to see the wonders of the San Juans. On a rainy Thursday morning two weeks into the school year, the bench was empty. Most of the few passengers above decks were […]
