Washington State Ferries announced that they have issued a Request for Information yesterday to the shipbuilding industry across the country as part of our effort to contract for five hybrid-electric Olympic-class ferries. 

Responses are due in January and will provide critical information for the Invitation for Bid that will be issued in spring 2024. 

Earlier this year, the Legislature passed a new law that allows us to solicit bids nationwide when building new boats.
