PORT TOWNSEND — Car-ferry service could resume as soon as Saturday on the Port Townsend-Keystone run.

The 50-car Steilacoom II is undergoing sea trials this week on Admiralty Inlet. The state is leasing the ferry from Pierce County.

The Port Townsend-Keystone route has had only passenger service since November when Transportation Secretary Paula Hammond pulled four 80-year-old Steel Electric class ferries out of service because of hull corrosion.

Gov. Gregoire has asked the Legislature to spend $100 million for three new ferries, modeled after the Steilacoom II.
