MV Puyallup is a Script error: No such module "WPSHIPS utilities". operated by Washington State Ferries. This ferry and her two sisters are the largest in the fleet. Puyallup is normally assigned to the Edmonds–Kingston route,[1] although she is often reassigned to the Seattle–Bainbridge Island route whenever either of her sisters assigned to that route are out of service.[2]
In mid-2008, Puyallup was sent out of service for repainting and to have a new security system installed. She returned to service in January 2009.[3] In the winter of 2013 she was hauled and her hull was stripped down to steel for a thorough inspection and scheduled maintenance. She was also fitted with new five-bladed propellers as an experiment to reduce vibration and increase efficiency.
Incidents
There have been a few incidents in which passengers aboard Puyallup have disappeared. On April 15, 2001, a man disappeared while en route from Seattle to Bainbridge Island. Authorities suspected he fell overboard when the ship turned to enter Eagle Harbor while he was sitting on a railing.[4] On January 13, 2009, a woman disappeared while the ferry was en route from Seattle to Bainbridge Island. Her husband found what he believed to be a suicide note.[5]
