ā¢ Officials: Everett to Langley passenger ferry may return next year (heraldnet.com) ā Langley residents could see the Everett-to-Langley passenger ferry return next summer, after a successful pilot brought about 1,500 trips and new visitors to local businesses without adding parking strain. Port officials on both sides are now weighing funding, sponsorships, and community feedback to expand the tourism-focused service while keeping taxpayer costs in check.
