Steilacoom–Anderson Island ferry

[1] Traffic increased and by 1924, the Skansies were able to put another ferry on the route, the City of Steilacoom, with a capacity for 30 automobiles.

The City of Steilacoom had a single deck with a small elevated control room, and a ramp, and looked like a powered barge.

[3] In 1967 Pierce County bought the wooden-hulled motor ferry Tourist II (98 ft (29.87 m), 95 tons, capacity: 22 automobiles), which had been running on the Astoria–Megler route from 1924 to 1966, and renamed the vessel Islander.

[5] In 2010 the ferry on the route M/V Christine Anderson was renovated at a cost of $1.5 million, 80% of which was paid for by the Federal Transit Administration.

Four runs per day detour to Ketron either from (mornings) Steilacoom Dock or back from Anderson Island (evenings).
