MV Puyallup is a Jumbo Mark-II-class ferry operated by Washington State Ferries. This ferry and her two sisters are the largest in the fleet. Puyallup is normally assigned to the Edmonds–Kingston route,[1] although she is often reassigned to the Seattle–Bainbridge Island route whenever either of her sisters assigned to that route are out of service.[2]
In mid-2008, Puyallup was sent out of service for repainting and to have a new security system installed. She returned to service in January 2009.[3]
In the winter of 2013 she was hauled and her hull was stripped down to steel for a thorough inspection and scheduled maintenance. She was also fitted with new five-bladed propellers as an experiment to reduce vibration and increase efficiency.
