Mukilteo-Clinton ferry gets grant for renovations focused on walk-ons
MUKILTEO — Washington State Ferries will receive $4.8 million in federal funding to refurbish six aging ships — including the M/V Kitsap, which runs on the Mukilteo-Clinton route.
Many details on the plans are hazy, Washington State Ferries spokesperson Ian Sterling said. With the grant announced Wednesday, state officials still need to decide when renovations will take place and what exactly will change.
But likely, the grant will be used to rehabilitate aging interiors of the ships, Sterling said.
All six ships were built over 40 years ago. The expected lifespan, with routine maintenance, is about 60 years.
