This image shows the Kennewick-Pasco Columbia River ferry, uploading at the Kennewick side of the river. A writer claims the river is the principal cause of Seattle's loss of $500,000 of tourist business annually. Within view in this photo, one of the spans of the proposed highway bridge will be built to replace the ferry route.
