Looking out from Fort Casey on Whidbey Island you can see the brand new 64 car ferry, the Chetzemoka heading toward the Keystone ferry landing. This is reported to be the most expensive US ferry ever built, costing over 79 million and providing hundreds of local jobs. Launched just last November and the first of three new ferries slated to replace the Steel Electric ferries that were removed from service suddenly in 2007 due to hull safety concerns. The Steel Electric Ferries were built in 1927 and saw service first in San Francisco before coming north to Puget Sound for many more years of service. Well, Chetzemoka, long may you run, too!
We rode the Chetzemoka between Whidbey and Port Townsend several times in rough winter seas last month and it is a smooth ride. These are some of my family members out for a walk with me, all of us taking photos :-).
