PORT ORCHARD: Port of Bremerton commissioners approved the sale of the Annapolis foot ferry dock to Kitsap Transit on Tuesday for $947,000. The two agencies hammered out a sale price for the facility this year, and the Kitsap Transit board approved the purchase.
Kitsap Transit recently landed a federal grant to improve the dock and make it more accessible to people with disabilities. The grant required the agency to either own the facility or have a 30-year lease in place. Kitsap Transit had been using the dock for its Annapolis-Bremerton ferry route under a month-to-month agreement with the port.
The sale includes the pier, gangway and float and aquatic lands lease with the Department of Natural Resources. Kitsap Transit owns the parking lot and shelter at the head of the dock. The popular pier will remain open to the public.
