SEATTLE — Workers have started smoothing out the ramps on the newest Washington ferry, the Tokitae, where some long cars would scrape where the ramps angle into the upper deck.
Ferry officials told The Daily Herald that the $66,000 repair would be done at night to keep the ferry in service on the Mukilteo-Clinton route.
The state has received three claims for scraping damage since the Tokitae went into service at the end of June.
The state is in the process of building two more 144-car vessels. Officials say they will have smoother ramps.
