| Caption | The sternwheeler "State of Washington" was built in Tacoma in 1889. The vessel carried passengers and freight on runs between Seattle and Bellingham Bay and, after 1905, on the Hood Canal route. In 1906, the "State of Washington" carried a Stanley Steamer automobile from Hoodsport to Seattle. This may have been the first car carried across Puget Sound.
