Washington State Ferries (WSF) is moving a number of boats around now as one of its vehicles is now of commission for 'up to four weeks' due to damage recently sustained. WSF spokesman Ian Sterling said divers discovered a crack Friday on the 200-car-vessel M/V Walla Walla, which is usually on the Bremerton-Seattle route. The crack was found when crew members felt an intense vibration aboard the boat, leading to an inspection. 'On Friday, on its way to Bremerton, (the Walla Walla) had a problem with vibration on board.
