From WSDOT: Service disruptions on all routes are likely this afternoon due to the lack of qualified crew. Customers are requested to only make essential travel. We'll provide more information as it becomes available. Please check WSDOT - Ferries - Alerts for updates and route adjustments.

Got a message related to this from a friend in the San Juans. They are reporting most of the boats are tied up in Anacortes, and that this may cascade throughout the system as they change crews. This is reportedly due to pay disputes with the engineers.

If anyone has further information, please share.

Something that I have heard from several sources over the years is that Star Trek gets cancelled because the way they use to measure audience and impact showed it wasn't popular, but the year after, that measurement changes, and it really was popular.

The way it was described over the years TOS was cancelled for low rating. However, in 1969-70 they switched from whole audience counts to demographics, and redid ratings for the 1968-69 season, which showed Star Trek was the most popular show in the coveted 14-49 male demographics, on NBC.
It has also been reported that Enterprise was cancelled also for low ratings. This was because Nielsen only measured live viewing, it did not account for time-shifting/TiVo, and several UPN affiliates were also affiliates for sports teams which time shifted the show. The following year, Nielsen added time-shifted viewing to its metrics, and Enterprise was the most watch show on UPN, both because of time-shifting and because it was often watched multiple times.

So with there being roughly 2.5 seasons of Star Trek left, until we likely languish again for a while, what can you see being the thing that shows it was a mistake to cancel the shows?

I'm not asking about your opinion about quality, cost, acting, story, politics, etc. But if there is a time in the future where "they" can look back and see they made an error, what do you think it will be?
