(Photo by Linda Hall/Alaska DOT&PF) Alaska's ferry system is looking at building a new terminal in the village of Saxman, about three miles south of Ketchikan. State officials say moving the terminal could allow the ferry system to add a third daily sailing to and from Metlakatla. Officials are scheduled to discuss the idea at a series of upcoming public hearings. The Alaska Marine Highway System ferry Lituya shuttles passengers and vehicles to and from Metlakatla twice a day, five days a week.
