Washington State Ferries (WSF), which provide service around the Puget Sound in western Washington, suffered significant staff shortages over the weekend, officials said. And on Monday, the service’s website went down for several hours.
Sterling said that about 28 workers called in sick on Oct. 9, which he described as not unusual. However, there were no substitutes to replace them, which State Ferries spokesperson Ian Sterling described as “pretty unprecedented,” local media reported.
