2:59 PM: Another waterborne transportation note: Thanks to the caller who pointed out that the Fauntleroy-Vashon-Southworth state ferry run is down a boat. MV Kittitas has what WSF describes as a “fire-main leak” and has been pulled off the route TFN. WSF says it “will continue to operate the regular 3-boat schedule using vessels #2 and #3. Engineers on board the vessel are working to fix the problem.” We’ll update when there’s word it’s back.

11:25 PM: Looks like it’ll be a while. From WSF late tonght:

Due to the need for more extensive repairs to the M/V Kittitas, we will implement a 2-boat schedule on the Fauntleroy/Vashon/Southworth route starting Monday, March 3. The Cathlamet will operate as the #1 vessel, with the Issaquah as the #2. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to maintain our fleet.
