LETTER | Fond memories of the Kalakala in Kirkland

Published 7:07 pm Friday, March 25, 2011

Being 80, and a native, Matthew McCauley’s story on the Kalakala provides me with a few memories. Yes, she sure sounded different. Were there any other single-ender car ferries operating on Puget Sound? Don’t think so. Was it regular practice to operate as a double-ender docking? Think so.

My mother produced only boys, so she was a volunteer with Seattle Girl Scouts, which included ferryboat rides to visit the Robbins Famiy and Camp Robbins. Thus our rides on the Kalakala.
