'Something's gotta give': Mukilteo ferry captain asks boaters to steer clear [View all]
EDMONDS — On Puget Sound, five short blasts of a ship’s horn blare across the water.
The source? Capt. Russell Fee, behind the wheel of the state ferry Spokane.

“If you hear that coming from a ferry, look up,” Fee said. “It might even involve you.”

A large ferry like the Spokane takes at least 90 seconds to come to a complete stop, Fee said. If a pleasure craft failed to move out of the way in time, it could cause serious disruptions or even a collision.
