The MV Quinault was a Steel Electric Class ferry operated by Washington State Ferries. Originally built as the MV Redwood Empire in Oakland for Northwestern Pacific, she started out serving Southern Pacific Railways on their Golden Gate Ferries line on San Francisco Bay. She was purchased by the Puget Sound Navigation Company in 1940, brought to Puget Sound and renamed the MV Quinault, serving P.S.N. until Washington State Ferries acquired and took over operations in 1951. In 2002, Quinault was featured in a scene in the movie The Ring.
