Cathlamet ferry to serve Edmonds after repairs from July crash
EDMONDS — Edmonds-Kingston riders will get to board a newly repaired ferry equipped with the first “black box” data recorder on a domestic vessel.
The recorders will now become standard equipment on state ferries, with installation occurring fleet-wide in coming months.
The Cathlamet, which caused about $7.7 million in damage when it crashed into offshore pilings in West Seattle last July, will return to duty this weekend for a stint on the Edmonds-Kingston route.
The vessel is slated to replace a regular boat on the route needing maintenance, said Dana Warr, a spokesperson for Washington State Ferries.
