• New enough, long enough. Well sourced, neutral, free of plagiarism. Hooks are both interesting; my preference is for ALT0. The Seattle Met source gets to the claim obliquely, but having ridden on almost all of these ferries at one point or another I was able to turn up a Seattle Times source that indicates All our current ferries have tribal meanings in their names. QPQ done and image appropriately licensed and good to go for home page. Dclemens1971 (talk) 21:14, 7 January 2026 (UTC)
