KINGSTON — There could be a new passenger-only ferry in
Kingston if everything falls in place for Kitsap Transit in the next few years. A plan for the proposed ferry service between the Kitsap Peninsula and Seattle shows Kitsap Transit beginning with service in Bremerton in October 2015 and expanding
to service in Kingston in the fall of 2017. Before ferry services can begin, Kitsap Transit will need to continue planning, including finding funding. The plan needs to be endorsed by Kitsap County Board of Commissioners and receive “adequate local tax support,” Kitsap
Transit passenger-only ferry plan manager Carla Sawyer told the Herald in July. Under the proposed plan presented to the Kitsap Transit Board on Sept. 26, services would include See FERRY, Page A3
