Edmonds-Kingston ferry route returns to normal two-boat service

The Kingston-Edmonds ferry route has returned to normal two-boat service after an early morning fuel leak caused service delays.

Washington State Ferries spokeswoman Marta Coursey says 15 gallons of diesel fuel spilled from the ferry Walla Walla before service began on Monday morning. The spill created a sheen on the water.

Both the Walla Walla and the Spokane were surrounded by oil booms at the Kingston terminal on Monday morning as crews investigated and cleaned the area.

The Edmonds-Kingston route is the second busiest in the system, carrying 3.8 million passengers last year.
