RESOLUTION NO. ~~4
A RESOLUTION of the City of Port Angeles
authorizing the Mayor to meet with rep-
resentatives of the State Department of
Transportation, Marine Division, for the
purpose of providing Port Angeles' input
to the Washington State Ferries' Long
Range Plan.
WHEREAS, the Washington State Ferry System is a major
means of transportation for visitors and the residents traveling
to and from our part of the state of Washington; and
WHEREAS, the Port Townsend to Keystone ferry run is one
of only three ways that North Olympic Peninsula residents and
visitors can access Puget Sound metropolitan area in an affordable
and timely manner; and
WHEREAS, tourism has been and is continuing to be a
major factor in the economy of the North Olympic Peninsula; and
WHEREAS, the Washington State Ferry System needs to pro-
vide service to all areas of Puget Sound where water transportation
is needed, where water transportation connects with other water
transportation routes and/or where water transportation connects
with our state's highway systems; and
WHEREAS, the Washington State Ferry System, as a system,
must support itself as a whole system and not with each individual
ferry run being expected to be self sufficient; and
WHEREAS, factors such as the well being of the entire
state of Washington and more specifically, the North Olympic
Peninsula, should be considered along with the economics of the
entire ferry system and the economics of individual ferry runs when
developing a long range plan and drawing conclusions and making
recommendations.
