Magnolia was a wooden-hulled steamship that operated on Puget Sound from 1907 to 1937.

Fred Sutter, raced Vashon daily between landings to be the first boat to pick up the business.

By 1909, the rate wars had died down, and Magnolia and Vashon were running on different schedules.

For a time in 1911, the steamer Nisqually was run on the same route, but when Nisqually was taken off the route and sent to the Columbia River, Magnolia became the last steamboat to make the Seattle-Olympia run.

As passenger fares fell off, Magnolia was converted to a towboat.
