• WSF needs $21 million more to replace aging Southworth ferry terminal (kitsapsun.com) — Washington State Ferries says it still needs $21 million to fully fund the long-planned replacement of the aging Southworth ferry terminal, with major construction now pushed to 2027–2031. The project would rebuild the terminal and dock that serve the Triangle route and Kitsap Transit fast ferries, and recent federal funding secured by Rep. Emily Randall covers only a small portion of the total cost. 
• Rep. Randall's efforts to bring federal funding to local projects (kitsapdailynews.com) — Federal funding championed by Rep. Emily Randall includes $850,000 to help replace the aging Southworth ferry terminal building and trestle, extending its life by about 75 years. The same package backs major Kitsap projects like a regional bus-driver training center, a Bremerton medical respite facility, and wastewater upgrades, with more requests pending for roads, ferries, sewers, and fire engines.
