(Live Fauntleroy dock camera)
Washington State Ferries says a “power problem” is detouring Fauntleroy ferries to downtown TFN. (Thanks to Christine for the original tip on this.) More shortly. 10:12 AM UPDATE: WSF just announced the power problem has been fixed and service will be back to normal starting with the 10:20 am run – but they’re warning of some delays while the ferries get back into position.
That explains the ferries heading north-south along the WS shore.
Was there work (related to the power outage) going on near the dock that would’ve made it impossible to unload the ferry? It didn’t seem to be a problem when the power went out during the storm in late 2006.
Since moving here I’ve always wondered why they even bother with the Fauntleroy dock. Most of the cars end up driving downtown anyway.
The reason for this dock is because there is no room at Colman Dock to support the Seattle – Vashon runs and since the state wants to focus on bigger things, such as the viaduct, the state really could care less of what most ferry riders think.
Sorry, comment time is over.
