Naming the next Mukilteo ferry: It won't be Boaty McBoatface

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

MUKILTEO — The state ferry system’s bouncing new workhorse needs a name.

It won’t be Boaty McBoatface or S.S. ShouldveBeenABridge.

The next addition to the 21-member fleet is a hybrid-electric Olympic class 144-car vessel that will serve the busy Mukilteo-Clinton route. It isn’t slated to sail for about three years. At this point, it’s barely a twinkle in the Legislature’s eyes.

The name game starts early on this big bad baby.

This week will kick off the ferry naming process. A virtual meeting by the Washington State Transportation Commission on Wednesday will discuss how the public can get involved.

There is no prize other than the satisfaction of naming a vessel.

1. Someone should send this to Stephen Colbert

He loves having things named after himself.

2. I'll go out on a limb and suggest "Mukilteo Ferry".

3. But "Mr. Plow" is still in the running? I'm asking for a friend. NT
