On MV Walla Walla

Riding the automobile/passenger ferry across Puget Sound from Kingston, Washington state to Edmonds, which is north of Seattle. Looking back west to Kingston; the Olympic Mountains are just barely visible in the far distance. The curious design on the stack to the right is the logo of the Washington State Dept. of Transportation (WSDOT), which operates the ferry. WSDOT runs the largest ferry fleet in the US and one of the largest in the world. It plies the waters of Puget Sound, so that effectively many of the communities around the Sound are part of the Seattle metropolitan area. Btw, Walla Walla is a city in southeastern Washington very near the Oregon line.
