Paul Gottlieb has this story in the Peninsula Daily News. The photo is one I took a year ago in Tacoma. I love the Kalakala, but I suggest that city leaders take a close look at her, in person, before they say yes to this!
PORT ANGELES — Steve Rodrigues wants to bring the famous ferry Kalakala, now a beat-up, rusting shadow of its storied past, back to Port Angeles.
There the dilapidated ferry would be restored and serve as a centerpiece for a new development along the city waterfront, Rodrigues says.
But, based on Rodrigues’ track record, it is questionable whether he can find funding to act on his dreams — and the owner of the land he wants to buy says "we are nowhere" on negotiations.
