EDMONDS — The Edmonds-Kingston route is the focus Thursday in a Washington State Ferries virtual meeting to update riders and answer questions.

The ferry fare revenue requirement set by the Legislature in the 2023-25 Transportation Budget is $418.6 million.

The ferry system is hosting a series of six virtual route-specific meetings.

Preregistration is required to participate.
