Washington State Ferries pushes back service restoration estimate for Bremerton, again

It's frustrating, but understandable if they simply don't have the employees to safely run more boats.

This sucks but those boats feel completely empty compared to pre-pandemic levels. You can walk on the 6:20 out of Bremerton at 6:18 and still get a bench. I remember taking the 4:50 and every bench was gone within 60 seconds of boarding on the Chimicum (I hate that boat and it's sister boat.) I understand they are having crew issues but there's no way they are going to prioritize that route until rider levels increase.
