MV Motor Vessel Sally Fox
The first of the King County Water Taxi’s two new boats, the Sally Fox, was dedicated in a ceremony on March 28, 2015, by County Executive Dow Constantine, County Council member Joe McDermott and other local figures.
After a public vote, the vessel was named for longtime Vashon resident Sally Willinger Fox, who was a passionate advocate for the preservation of passenger-only ferry service between Vashon Island and downtown Seattle. According to a plaque on the vessel that honors Fox, she "understood that passenger-only service enhances Islanders' family lives, protects the environment, reduces congestion and contributes to the health, vibrancy and fun of Vashon and Maury Islands."
