About MV Klahowya
The MV Klahowya was an Evergreen State-class ferry that was operated by Washington State Ferries. The vessel's name comes from Chinook Jargon and means "greetings." The Klahowya served nearly all of her career on the Fauntleroy-Vashon-Southworth run before being moved to the San Juans to replace her sister ship, MV Evergreen State, which was to be retired. In early 2008, and again in August 2012, she did short stints on the Inter-Island run due to a vessel shortage. She was moved to the Inter-Island route on June 30, 2014, and remained there until her retirement on January 10, 2017. On August 16, 2024, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) announced that the decommissioned Elwha and Klahowya would be sold for $100,000 each to Ecuadorian businessman Nelson Armas.
