Associated Press

WINSLOW, Wash. – The state ferry Wenatchee crashed into the dock at Bainbridge Island, shaking up passengers but causing no obvious damage to the vessel or dock.

KOMO reported that Washington State Ferries issued a statement saying the ferry was on the 12:20 p.m. sailing from Seattle to Bainbridge when it experienced a propulsion problem.

Ferries spokesman Ian Sterling said the ferry was going about 2 knots – or roughly 3 mph – when it hit the dock. No one was injured.

The vessel was moored at the Bainbridge Island dock for inspection. As
