They will be doing this for some time before she enters service. There should be a Coast Guard evacuation training at some point this month or early next month before it can be certified for service.

This ferry was named as a tribute to one of our southern resident orcas who was captured and is still performing at SeaWorld in Miami under the name of Lolita.

We’ve seen that ferry cruising around Elliott Bay at odd times for the past week or so, and were wondering what was going on.

According to MarineTraffic.com, it’s near West Point right now and has been tracking back and forth between North Seattle and Alki Point, north/south/north/south – interesting track. So you might see it off Alki Point before it’s totally dark – it seems to be heading south right now.
