We're doing a test run of supplementing our traffic cameras with a team of birds who are reporting back what they're seeing. While they have a bit more flexibility than cameras and can move pretty fast, they're also easily distracted by potential food - though so am I. Anyway, here's one of the team, a red-tailed hawk (according to the Department of Fish and Wildlife) keeping an eye on I-5 in north Seattle. Things were going great until it spotted a mouse and we haven't heard from it since. | WS

Seventy years ago today, we began operations following the state’s purchase of the ferry system from Puget Sound Navigation Company (Black Ball Line). Thanks to 70 years of well-trained crews, highly skilled staff and a focus on customer service, we've been proud to serve our state for seven decades! In celebration of 70 years of service, our 70th anniversary logo is being installed on each of our 21 vessels. https://wsdot.wa.gov/news/2021/06/01/washington-state-ferries-marks-70-years-service |
