Washington's Newest Ferry Gets A Name

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

SEATTLE — Washington State Ferries unveiled the name of its newest vessel this week, selecting the winner from a group of six finalists after a few months of public input.

The state extended its deadline for name submissions in September, after receiving hundreds of mostly joke suggestions, like "Kevin" and "Sea Hag," which the state said did not meet the criteria. The final list included three submissions sponsored by local tribes — the Muckleshoot, Snoqualmie and Stillaguamish — and three others submitted by residents: the Enie Marie, Stehekin and Wishkah.

Ultimately, the Washington State Transportation Commission selected Wishkah, named for the river that runs from the Olympic foothills into Grays Harbor.

"From the earliest days of the Lower Chehalis people to the heyday of the boomtown Aberdeen, the Wishkah has been a vital link between forest and sea that anchors the community," the entry's description reads. "The Wishkah River was originally crossed by ferry, and the steamer Wishkah Chief served the river and the harbor."
