City Of Clinton was built at Clinton, Washington, and was intended to run between that city and Everett, Washington. King County at that time owned and operated a number of ferries. King County ferries running between Seattle and Vashon Island, including City of Clinton, were turned over for operation and management to the Kitsap County Transportation Company.[1][2]
On March 23, 1929, the ferry caught fire while underway near Mukilteo and sank.[1]
