The MV Tillikum is an Evergreen State Class ferry operated by Washington State Ferries.
As of early 2008, she is serving the communities of Southworth, Vashon and Fauntleroy.
Currently this vessel is on the Fauntleroy-Vashon-Southworth route. In the past the Tillikum has served the Edmonds-Kingston run, Seattle-Bainbridge Island run, and the Seattle Bremerton run due to vessel shortage.[3][4]
