The MV Kaleetan is a Super Class ferry operated by Washington State Ferries.
The Kaleetan (meaning arrow in Chinook) is named for a mountain peak northwest of Snoqualmie Pass. The Kaleetan went into service in early 1968 serving Seattle–Winslow, and was transferred north to the Anacortes–San Juan Islands route in the mid 1970s. Since being rebuilt the Kaleetan has been mostly assigned to the Seattle–Bremerton route, with occasional forays into the San Juan Islands.
