Sorry if this topic is in the wrong section. I wanted to reach out to the tight knit community of NWFR for this one. It would be great to get a poll from all of you on this subject, if you don't mind replying back with the answer, it would help me out a lot!

1.) Would you want a ferry back in service between Westport-Ocean Shores? Yes/No
2.) How often would you use the service in a year? 1x ; 2x ; 3x or more
3.)How much would you be willing to pay for a round trip ticket? Adult: $15; $25; $35; $45 (Children 5/under: $8; $12; $15; $18;$20)
4.) How many people in your family would use the ferry? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or more

Thanks everyone! I appreciate your time and consideration!

Are you asking regarding a private ferry service or a ferry service by Washington DOT ferry service? In my opinion if a private service thought they could operate and make a profit that there would already be a ferry running a schedule. With that said the thought of running yet another Washington State ferry at a lose in revenue is a ridiculous idea. Not only would it be a waste of money so a very small population could use it, by the time a person would wait in line to load, take the ride and then wait to get off the ferry a person could have made the very short drive from Ocean Shores to Westport ( and maybe stop and get some fresh seafood along the way). Neither Westport or Ocean Shores are year around high populations, they hit peck populations about four to five months a year so to commit a ferry system in my opinion would be ridiculous. Other than that have a nice day.

This idea was geared towards a private service. Thanks for your thoughts.
