The Elwha is a Super Class ferry in the Washington State Ferry System.
The Elwha is usually seen working the Anacortes-San Juan Islands route, and is one of only three ferries in the system certified for international sailings to Sydney, British Columbia (the other two being the Sealth and Evergreen State).
Due to mechanical issues, the Elwha will not be in service at least until February, 2007.
