The MV Yakima is a Super Class ferry operated by Washington State Ferries. The Yakima was built in 1967 for the Seattle-Bremerton run and remained there until the early 1980s when she was moved to the Edmonds-Kingston run where she was a better match for ridership levels. In 1999 she was extensively rebuilt, and since then she has been serving the Anacortes-San Juan Islands route. She was removed from service in the spring of 2014 to have her drive motors rebuilt, and returned to service in Fall 2014. In March of 2016 there was a fire on the vessel while running in the San Juan Islands. She has been out of service since.
