The old ferry Kalakala is up for sale. You can buy it for $1.

The Seattle Times reports the boat is in danger of capsizing, and the Coast Guard says it must be moved from where it’s been docked in Tacoma.

The owner says he’s had offers, but none from in the Seattle area, and he wants to keep the boat here.
