Ferry service between Seattle and Bremerton halted for a period Friday afternoon after intense vibrations aboard the Walla Walla led crews to dock the boat for inspections. The ferry Chimacum was set to move over to the Bremerton route from the Bainbridge crossing, said Washington State Ferries spokesperson Ian Sterling, reducing sailings between Bainbridge Island and Seattle to just one boat. That could be a problem for anyone heading to the Mariners game Friday night. The issue with the Walla Walla appears to be its propeller, Sterling said.
