To make it easier to read, (just a suggestion) you should merge the cells together when a vessel is on a route for an extended period of time. For example, while the Kennewick is at Port Townsend, instead of filling every cell in with PT, merge them and write Port Townsend/Coupeville.

I think it's great he actually took the time and effort to do this, so I'm not going to complain about the formatting.

I was able to fill in every cell to see how it looks and if you want to check it out - here it is: goo.gl/zLV9FJ

In my boredom today I ferreted around the website, checking out upcoming maintenance projects and assignments. I assembled the following based on the news, upcoming contracted maintenance, and what is visible in the reservation system for the San Juan Islands. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KGwVOO-BOvmciLY_-Aiqpmi1uzHNepw4FuMNDIGwIDk/edit?usp=sharingI do not have information as to when various vessels will end up in Eagle Harbor at various times, so there is a little bit of guesswork in two places, (Namely the Kitsap and Hyak standby periods- Either could easily be in service for another non-Anacortes vessel) but overall I think this is what is planned.

Yes, you are right about the Klahwoya. She will be retired as of June 25 when the Chimacum enters service (Hyak will shift to permanent standby at this point too). As for the Kitsap, she is out indefinitely while repairs are conducted to her engine crankshaft which is broken.

Nice little graphic. As JayC mentioned, Kitsap's broken crankshaft will likely throw a wrench into vessel assignments for this summer. If Kitsap is, indeed, going to be out of commission for a lengthy period of time, we may see Chelan filling in for her at Mukilteo-Clinton for quite awhile when Kittitas and Tokitae are rotated in and out, which means Elwha will be the international vessel for at least part of the summer, and Hyak will be moved to the #5 slot in the islands. This is, of course, speculation on my part, but it makes sense.

Kitsap is scheduled to go out from 5/30-6/24 anyway so hopefully it can be fixed before it is needed at the start of the summer schedule. (Yes, I agree with you as to the most likely change that would happen if the Kitsap isn't available)

During the Chimacum's open ship, I got the privilege to speak to several WSF officials. Among other things, I got access to the official layup boards, and permission to post them here. Of course, all standard maintenance schedule disclaimers apply; Information here is subject to change without notice. But, this is what the plans are as of now. Happy reading. 2017-18 Schedule_Updated 170613.pdf (464.92 KB) 2018-19 Schedule_Updated 170518.pdf (466.4 KB)

Most interesting things here to me: Suquamish indeed retires Hyak, while the Tillikum actually gets engine work and continues onward as the inter-island boat, replaced by the Sealth when in for maintenance. Suquamish gets around, including with Chimacum at Bremerton. Chelan gets quite a bit of time filling in at Fauntleroy, and even the Kittitas gets in the mix there when two Olympics are at Mukilteo. Things are changing!

Two possible reasons..
(1) The Hyak never got a major rebuilt. There were plans to replace the Hyak by the end of last decade.
(2) Issaquah 130 class (and larger vessels) may not be suitable for the inter-island route. I know the Chelan has been used on the inter-island route at least once.

The schedule does have the Chelan back on the inter-island route in early 2019. It also appears that the Sealth and Tillikum are scheduled to swap on new years 2019, with the Sealth moving north to become the interisland vessel and the Tillikum becoming a Vashon standby again.

To me this says well yeah (duh), Hyak, and Klahowya, most likely become parts boats to support the other aging boats and buy a little more time since the State elected fools can't seem to play together.

If they become parts boats would they sit in eagle harbor and slowly be gutted as their parts are needed by Tilikum and the other 3 supers or would they be scrapped and usable parts be placed in a warehouse? I'm glad to see Tilikum get another lease on life. She's been a hard working, reliable boat over the years.

Kitsap just replaced the Cathlamet at Vahson. I wonder if the Cathy is heading back to Mukilteo for a while while the Chelan heads North?

Good idea that WSF didn't want to take her to Mukilteo. Hopefully she gets back to service soon.
She is due east of Vashon doing sea trials now

The Spokane is being painted, and the Kittitas is having some piping renewed. With no replacement boats, having two additional boats go out of service unplanned, throws everything off.

I have obtained an updated layup board that I'd thought I'd share... I know many of you are curious about vessel positioning plans, this should hopefully answer some of them. As always, Standard layup board disclaimers apply. 2017-18 Schedule_Updated 171010b.pdf (435.33 KB)

New Layup Board. (Well, semi-new; Updated 12/12, been forgetting to post it... Though it looks as if not much has changed.) Thanks for posting that. I miss the public one they used to have on the WSDOT site, even if it wasn't very up to date. Where did you get this?

I miss the public one they used to have on the WSDOT site, even if it wasn't very up to date. Where did you get this? Back at the Chimacum's open ship event (well, more specifically, on a ride on the Hyak immediately thereafter), I was able to talk with a few of the higher-ups at WSF, including two of the gentlemen in charge of the layup schedule. Among other things, I brought up the maintenance schedule and how much I, and the other members of the ferry-enthusiast community had enjoyed the luxury of knowing vessel assignments ahead of time. He agreed to e-mail me the layup boards, (with permission for me to then put them up here) and said they would look into getting it back onto the public site.
