Weâre back with the third edition of Ferry Tales: a monthly column brought to you by Albert A. Shorr, a Washington State Ferries deckhand going undercover for CHUM News.
Albert takes us along for a shift on the Kingston-Edmonds ferry route: from the many highs (a sweet mother-son moment, a cute oiler whoâs caught Alâs eye), to the many lows (curt conversations with Cletus at dispatch, the spookiness of the Kingston Curse).

For the second edition of Ferry Tales, we meet some of the characters running the show aboard the Washington State Ferries, as well as the regulars riding along. đŚ
CHUMâs undercover deckhand, Albert A. Shorr, walks us through the intricacies of a crew change. Who gets assigned which jobs? Why does Larry the âcabin muffinâ watch TV and eat spare ribs while heâs on the clock? And whatâs up with Percy the pigeon?
đ Albertâs got all the answers. Link in bio!
my senior show is a month away! APRIL 3RD 2026 in the 9th avenue gallery. if you're seeing this you're invited and you should come. group exhibition with 11 other lovely artists, been working super hard & excited to share.
In December, we received a curious message in our CHUM News inbox. It was from a deckhand for the Washington State Ferries, pitching a set of undercover monthly dispatches from the not-so-high seas of Puget Sound. We were an immediate âyes.â đ
Brought to you by Albert A. Shorr, and illustrated by @wormsinmycrocs , âFerry Talesâ is an exclusive column taking you behind the scenes of our stateâs intrepid ferries.
âWeâll talk about the mundane, the wonderful, the popcorn, the grime, and the many characters both running the show and riding along,â Albert writes. âMy hope is that these stories will make the public fall even deeper in love with the boats â but really, Iâm just here to report.â
