Washington ferries seeing increased delays

SEATTLE (AP) — An analysis of Washington State Ferries data shows ferries are running behind schedule this year more than they have in the past decade, with a consistent decline in on-time performance. Ferries spokesperson Ian Sterling told The Seattle Times every summer, with 50% more passengers traveling by ferry, it is not unusual to see a dip in on-time performance from June to September. But the delays are more pronounced this year and passengers on the Anacortes/San Juans route are particular problems.
