Issaquah 100 class ferry
The Issaquah 100 Class (originally known as Issaquah Class) ferries were built for the Washington State Ferries in the early 1980s. Each Issaquah ferry can carry 1200 passengers and 90 cars. Since then, five of the ferries have been upgraded to become the Issaquah 130 Class leaving just the MV Sealth unmodified.
