Summary

The law lets Washington counties form ferry districts that can build, run, and tax for passenger‑only ferries, even within city limits. It sets limits on taxes, borrowing, and requires a business plan and governor approval for certain large‑county routes. An advisory committee of local residents must also be appointed to guide the district.
