Mukilteo ferry terminal takes shape and could open in 2020

MUKILTEO — Unless you were right there, you wouldn’t know there was a big hoopla happening Wednesday morning in the cordoned-off construction zone of the new ferry terminal.

Amid anticipation, and with a dozen cameras trained, a crane slowly lifted the brace covering part of a spartan concrete wall at the water’s edge.

It revealed … more gray concrete.

It was a grand reveal, Washington State Ferries-style. Not HGTV-style.

The pretty stuff will come later.

“This is a significant starting milestone for the future ferry terminal,” said Nicole McIntosh, director of terminal engineering for Washington State Ferries.

The walls are part of the first level of the complex with holding lanes and an overhead bridge, which the existing terminal lacks.

McIntosh and others in hardhats stood on the foundation of what will be the elevator shaft, against the backdrop of ferries crisscrossing Puget Sound on the 20-minute Mukilteo-Clinton route from the old terminal one-third of a mile away.
