The new state ferry named for Kennewick will feature scenic and historic photos from the city when it begins service in the Seattle area early next year.
The Tri-City Herald reporte3d that the Kennewick City Council has agreed to provide six large photos of various aspects of the city’s heritage and landmarks. They want to show ferry passengers in the Puget Sound area what they miss by not visiting Kennewick.
Kennewick was home to one of the earliest ferry crossings in the state in the early 1900s before bridges were built.
The photos that have been chosen include a river steamboat, a scenic orchard view, and a historic American Indian scene.
The new ferry will carry a maximum of 750 people and 64 vehicles to and from Vashon Island.
