for your decades of hard work!

“Kudos to ferry employees [terminal attendants] Matthew M[obley] and Keith L[und] for being so helpful and persistent. Waiting for Seattle to Bainbridge ferry and when I tried to start
the car the battery was completely dead and none of the electronics worked. The car is a hybrid with the battery in the trunk and the trunk latch did not work.
“Matthew and Keith kept trying to figure out how to charge the battery in between loading the ferries. They never gave up and finally after about an hour of trying various things they
solved the problem and were able to access the trunk through the back seat. They charged my battery. It was a great relief and I was impressed with their kindness and perseverance.
Thank you so much guys!”

“Kudos to ferry employees [terminal attendants] Matthew M[obley] and Keith L[und] for being so helpful and persistent. Waiting for Seattle to Bainbridge ferry and when I tried to start
the car the battery was completely dead and none of the electronics worked. The car is a hybrid with the battery in the trunk and the trunk latch did not work.
“Matthew and Keith kept trying to figure out how to charge the battery in between loading the ferries. They never gave up and finally after about an hour of trying various things they
solved the problem and were able to access the trunk through the back seat. They charged my battery. It was a great relief and I was impressed with their kindness and perseverance.
Thank you so much guys!”
-Seattle/Bainbridge customer
