In April 2007, nearly a century after the “Puget Sound Mosquito Fleet,” a new county-wide Ferry District was formed in King County, Washington to expand transportation options for county residents through passenger ferry services.
The Ferry District is building on the historic Puget Sound Mosquito Fleet to address modern day challenges. By expanding transportation choices to include passenger ferries, the KCFD will prepare for continued population growth and address the quality of life issues related to managing traffic congestion and its impact on the environment.

The KCFD will take over the operations of two existing passenger ferry services (including the popular Elliott Bay Water Taxi), and is planning up to five new routes. The KCFD will contract with King County for operations. A new Marine Division has been created within the King County Department of Transportation.
