Officials hope to announce repair plan for ferry 'Tacoma' next week



SEATTLE -- Officials hope to announce a plan to fix the ferry "Tacoma" sometime next week.

The "Tacoma" lost power in the middle of the Puget Sound earlier this week.

Crews are looking at a switchboard that controls the propulsion system as a possible cause.

405 passengers were stranded on the vessel Tuesday and had to wait for a tugboat to pull the ship to shore. That led to major delays on other ferry routes for several days.
