 New Puget Island Ferry
By Peter Marsh
Washington State Ferries is well known as the fourth biggest ferry service in the world, but there are several small county-run ferries in the state that provide a vital transportation link and also deserve attention. The Puget Island, Oregon to Wesport, Washington route is the last remaining car ferry on the lower Columbia River, connecting communities located between the Longview and Astoria bridges.
