You’re right but why don’t they operate kittas and issquah They have, and do. Issaquah, up until recently, has largely been a Vashon boat. Cathlamet got kicked to Vashon in 2014 when Tokitae replaced her at Clinton. Honestly, I've given up on figuring out where vessels should be in this current turbulent time. There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes I don't know about; maintenance schedules, shipyard availability, emergency repairs - take your pick. All of those factors (and more) dictate when and where vessels are placed. For instance, it puzzles me why Kitsap is running inter-island when they have the slower and much smaller Salish running #2 at Edmonds-Kingston. It can't even keep the schedule. Why didn't they make that swap? I'm sure there is a reason that me, the uninformed citizen, is not privy to, and that's ok. It's not my sandbox, so to speak.

Two other things to add to your list are operational considerations (does the boat fit the docks well, can it keep the schedule, does it negatively affect crew reliefs/crew endurance, etc.), and vessel homeports and relief status.
Issaquah is a relief boat homeported at Vashon, so while it generally sticks around the Triangle it can be assigned anywhere in the system as needed. Kittitas and Cathlamet are homeported at Vashon and permanently assigned to the Triangle route, and generally won't be moved elsewhere barring emergencies.

And why isint there a 3rd boat like they could do issquah or Kistap or something In case you hadn't noticed, WSF only has 15 vessels in service at the moment, the bare minimum to run the service they've restored. Every Issaquah-class vessel is in service somewhere except Sealth, which is in drydock. So to get a third boat at Vashon would require pulling a boat from somewhere else and cutting service there.
