SEATTLE — A kayaker is safe and a Washington State Ferries crew is being praised after a mid-route rescue in Puget Sound Sunday. Andrew Palmer was on the Walla Walla ferry serving the Seattle-Bremerton route when he and other passengers spotted someone in distress who was "splashing pretty violently." "You'll have some, you know, whale sightings ... a boat in the way ... but this is the first time that I've ever seen something where the crew actually had to launch a rescue operation," Palmer said.
