Each ferry can carry up to 2,500 passengers and 202 vehicles, making them the largest ferries in the [[Washington State Ferries#Fleet|fleet]], and the second longest double-ended ferries in the world.<ref>[http://www.evergreenfleet.com/mark2.html The New Giants: The Jumbo Mark II Class], evergreenfleet.com</ref> They all have full galley service and a "quiet room" upstairs.

Ferries in this class include:

* [[MV Puyallup|''Puyallup'']] * [[MV Tacoma|''Tacoma'']] * [[MV Wenatchee|''Wenatchee'']]

In 2018, WSF announced plans to convert the Jumbo Mark II-class to battery electric propulsion by switching two of the four engines in each ferry with batteries.<ref>{{cite news |last=Brauchman |first=Michelle |date=May 4, 2018 |title=Washington State Ferries plans to convert its biggest vessels to electric power |url=https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/transportation/washington-state-ferries-plans-to-convert-its-biggest-vessels-to-electric-power/ |work=[[The Seattle Times]] |accessdate=August 16, 2023}}</ref> Funding for the program was earmarked the following year, with the ''Wenatchee'' planned to be the first ferry to undergo conversion.<ref>{{cite news |last=Stiffler |first=Lisa |date=September 21, 2019 |title=How Washington state plans to create the world's largest hybrid-powered, auto-carrying ferries |url=https://www.geekwire.com/2019/washington-state-plans-create-worlds-largest-hybrid-powered-auto-carrying-ferries/ |work=[[GeekWire]] |accessdate=August 16, 2023}}</ref> The $150&nbsp;million contract was awarded to [[Vigor Industrial]] in August 2023; ''Wenatchee'' is planned to be taken out of service for a year beginning in September 2023.<ref>{{cite news |last=Cornfield |first=Jerry |date=August 16, 2023 |title=Washington awards $150M contract to convert ferries to hybrid-electric power |url=https://www.kitsapsun.com/story/news/2023/08/16/wsf-will-pay-150-million-for-hybrid-election-ferry-conversions/70603378007/ |work=[[Kitsap Sun]] |accessdate=August 16, 2023}}</ref>
