SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – A ferry ran aground near Bainbridge Island, leaving over 600 passengers stranded on board. The incident occurred after the ferry suffered a generator failure, causing it to lose power and veer off course.

According to reports, the Seattle-Bremerton Ferry was out of service when it ran aground. Luckily, no injuries were reported. Emergency personnel rushed to the scene to assist passengers and ensure their safety.

The incident caused significant delays and disruptions to ferry service in the area. The ferry company is currently investigating the cause of the generator failure and working to ensure that safety procedures are in place to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.

Passengers on board the ferry have been advised to seek medical attention if they experience any symptoms related to the incident, such as anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder.

The Seattle Times reports that this is not the first time a ferry has run aground near Bainbridge Island. In 2018, a ferry carrying over 400 passengers ran aground in the same area after suffering a mechanical failure.

Fortunately, in both incidents, no one was injured, but it serves as a reminder of the importance of regular maintenance and safety checks to ensure the safety of all ferry passengers.
