History
The name Kennewick was chosen on July 13, 2010, after being suggested by Michael Fox, a resident of Washington's Bainbridge Island.[3] The ship was built at Vigor Shipyards, formerly Todd Pacific Shipyards.[4] She was launched on May 27, 2011, with her upper decks and interior still incomplete,[5] and christened by Judy Clibborn, the Washington House Transportation Chairwoman.[4] After her launch, Kennewick was to have construction completed at Vigor Shipyards,[5] before being moved to Everett, Washington to be outfitted.[4]
Kennewick began her sea trials on October 6, 2011, before her demonstrations to Washington State Ferries and the US Coast Guard began on October 12.[6] Upon completion of the demonstrations, Washington State Ferries took delivery of the vessel on October 31, 2011,[7] beginning further trials and crew training before Kennewick began operation between Port Townsend and Coupeville on February 14, 2012.[6]
