Each new vessel would cost an estimated $14 million. Read more at www.king5.com/article/news/local/design-report-released-electric-foil-kitsap-transit-ferry/281-05...

|September Wildlife|

This is primetime to keep your eyes peeled for wildlife along Seattle's waterfront. See those fish jumping clear out of the water? Those are pink salmon. Crews from Sailing Seattle (Pier 56), Seattle's Tall Ship (Bell Harbor Marina), Argosy (Pier 55), and Salish Sea Expeditions (Pier 57) report seeing lots of porpoises over the last week - they are targeting the salmon to feast on. At least one Orca was sighted this week off downtown Seattle. The sky is full of wildlife too - watch for Ospreys, Blue Herons, and Bald Eagles. For guaranteed whale sightings, check out FRS Clipper half-day whale-watching trips from Pier 69.
