— from Lisa Harper, Governor’s Office —
At 3:30 p.m. today, in his office, the governor recognized the many heroic acts of Washington State Ferry Crew Members who went beyond the call of duty to save lives.
Governor Inslee named the visiting crew members as Washingtonians of the Day. From rescuing people in swamped kayaks and capsized sailboats, performing CPR on deck, to even delivering babies, these crew members go beyond the call of duty and sometimes risk their own lives to keep our citizens safe.
Lynne Griffith, Washington State Ferry Director, joined the governor.
