A state ferry worker is back on the job, after vandalizing a car on the Edmonds to Kingston run.
Marcie Gwiazdon told KING 5 she was on the ship when she told one ferry employee of her dilemma.
“I just kind of waved at him, and I told him, I’ve got a dog in the car, and he’ll eat all the food, so I’m just tucking it there while we’re gone,” said Gwiazdon.
She stashed two takeout containers of food under her car while she went upstairs. But, when she came back, the food was smeared all over the car.
The employee she’d spoken with earlier reported that another ferry worker became enraged when he saw the food because he thought she was littering. So the ferry worker vandalized her car.
That worker was fired over the incident. But, he was allowed to return in September after his union filed a grievance.
