The **Jumbo Mark II-class ferries** are a series of [ferries](/source/Ferry) built for [Washington State Ferries](/source/Washington_State_Ferries) (WSF) between 1997 and 1999, at [Todd Pacific Shipyards](/source/Todd_Pacific_Shipyards) in [Seattle](/source/Seattle). Each ferry can carry up to 2,500 passengers and 202 vehicles, making them the largest ferries in the [fleet](/source/Washington_State_Ferries#Fleet), and the second longest double-ended ferries in the world.[1] They all have full galley service and a "quiet room" upstairs.

Ferries in this class include:

- [*Puyallup*](/source/MV_Puyallup)

- [*Tacoma*](/source/MV_Tacoma)

- [*Wenatchee*](/source/MV_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.[2] Funding for the program was earmarked the following year, with the *Wenatchee* planned to be the first ferry to undergo conversion.[3] The $150 million contract was awarded to [Vigor Industrial](/source/Vigor_Industrial) in August 2023; *Wenatchee* is planned to be taken out of service for a year beginning in September 2023.[4]
