Sometimes on the way into Seattle on weekday mornings we see what looks like police boats “escorting” ferries as they travel back & forth to Bainbridge. Not all mornings and not all ferries. Does anyone know what this is? We thought it was a drill the first time we saw it but it’s more frequent than that.
the ferries must be getting serious about security; this morning, one of the boats was escorted by the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis. Good thing they didn’t need to launch an airstrike …
Homeland Security. They receive high level risk/threats/chatter. It will never show up on the news. I heard about 10 years ago that terrorists were actually captured in Edmonds(ferry-underwater) Its kept top secret and I since forgot how I found out. LOL the elders die with secrets cause we can’t remember them anymore.
It’s the Coast Guard. My husband is part of the MSST team that carries out these operations. They also occasionally do security on the ferries. Nothing to fear!
