It's frustrating, but understandable if they simply don't have the employees to safely run more boats.

This sucks but those boats feel completely empty compared to pre-pandemic levels. You can walk on the 6:20 out of Bremerton at 6:18 and still get a bench. I remember taking the 4:50 and every bench was gone within 60 seconds of boarding on the Chimicum (I hate that boat and it's sister boat.) I understand they are having crew issues but there's no way they are going to prioritize that route until rider levels increase.
