About MV Elwha

MV Elwha was a Super-class ferry in the Washington State Ferry System. The 382-foot (116 m) vessel entered service in June 1968, and spent most of her career working the Anacortes-San Juan Islands-Sidney B.C. route. Elwha was retired in 2020 and set to be scrapped in 2024 until the sale to an Ecuadorian firm was cancelled amid contract issues. She was instead sold in 2025 to a local company to be converted into a floating office and warehouse.
