It’s not every day you see a Washington state ferry pass through the Ballard Locks.

The Elwha ferry was tugged through the locks this morning at 9:30am on its way to Lake Union dry dock for maintenance.

People are watching the ferry squeeze through the Ballard locks. So cool to be here and take it all in. @KING5Seattle pic.twitter.com/3ycHGQrkyQ — Brit Moorer (@britmoorer) July 29, 2019

The 73-foot-wide ferry, which was originally built in 1967, carries 144 vehicles.

You can watch the full video of it passing through on KING 5.
