Salish

MV Salish is a Kwa-di Tabil-class ferry built at Todd Pacific Shipyards in Seattle, Washington for the Washington State Ferries. The vessel was put into service on July 1, 2011 on the Port Townsend-Coupeville (Keystone, Whidbey Island) route. The Salish serves on the Port Townsend-Coupeville run during the summer and summer-shoulder seasons. In the winter, late fall, and early spring, the Salish is a back-up vessel, coming into service as needed when other ferries undergo maintenance, usually on the Port Townsend-Coupeville or Point Defiance-Tahlequah runs.
