You forgot to add the vindictiveness of a low level bureaucrat that tried to put the grading dock in Tacoma out of business with the failed plan in Port Angeles.

The Tacoma plant had built the pontoons and spans for nearly all bridges and road projects in the Northwest for years. However, this bureaucrat didn't like the bid so they tried to bankrupt the plant by building the Port Angeles grading dock out of spite.

It failed and the Tacoma plant is building the spans and the bureaucrat and the head cheese Doug MacDonald (a former Boston Big Dig executive) is still collecting a fat salary.

Thanks for the update guys. The Kitsap peninsula sure was a beautiful part of the country, everything was green, lots of open space, no traffic, clean air and great views.

Times change so I wonder, do they still serve beer on the ferries?
