HB 2618: Ferry water routes/highways

Adding ferry water routes to the state highway system.

Summary

Washington State ferry water routes are added to the state highway system. A provision is added to clarify that a current statute providing for a rebate of motor vehicle fuel tax and license fees to island counties that have no state highways or physical connections to the mainland (i.e., San Juan County) is not affected by adding the Anacortes/San Juan Islands water route to the state highway system.
