On Wednesday a fast attack submarine sailed by Shoreline.

It crossed paths with a fast ferry, the Finest, from Kitsap Transit.

According to the Seattle Transit blog, the ferry began regular weekday service November 2018 and normally makes six round-trips runs between Pier 52 in downtown Seattle and Kingston on the Kitsap Peninsula, across from Edmonds.

The trip takes approximately 40 minutes, much better than the one and a half hour trip Kingston residents used to have to get to Seattle by the regular ferry, then the Sounder train or express bus.
