The MV Puyallup is a Jumbo Mark II Class ferry operated by Washington State Ferries. This ferry, along with her sisters, is the newest and most powerful ferry in the fleet.
From mid-2006 to mid-2007, she was serving the Edmonds-Kingston route [1]. She was later on moved to the Seattle-Bainbridge Island route.
In mid-2008, the Puyallup was sent out of service for repainting and to have a new security system installed. She is expected to return to service on January 2009.[1]
As of August 2009, she is serving the Edmonds-Kingston route [2].
