The MV Klahowya passing the MV Chelan in

The Klahowya served nearly all of her career on the Fauntleroy-Vashon-Southworth run before being moved to the San Juans to replace her sister ship, MV Evergreen State, which was to be retired. In early 2008, and again in August 2012, she did short stints on the Inter-Island run due to a vessel shortage. She was moved to the Inter-Island route on June 30, 2014^[3] and remained there until her retirement in 2017. She is currently moored in Eagle Harbor, Bainbridge Island.

Klahowya is Chinook for "Greetings."
