Padding the workplace

Workers for William Winkler Company of Spokane pour a concrete pad at the Crescent Bay boat launch parking lot that will be used by Foss Maritime Company for the assembly of the new Keller Ferry. “Sanpoil” is currently under construction at the firm’s Rainier, Ore., plant. The ferry is scheduled to arrive here in pieces in March next year. The pad is 145-by-90 feet and will remain for use by the NPS after the ferry project is completed. — Scott Hunter photo
