When Captain Scott expanded operations up to Puget Sound, he bought back "Fleetwood" and put her on the Seattle-Tacoma run with the new and eventually much more famous propeller steamer "Flyer". On September 7, 1890, "Fleetwood" engaged unsuccessfully in an impromptu race between Tacoma and Seattle with the then brand-new and very fast sternwheeler "Greyhound". In 1898 "Fleetwood" was abandoned on the beach in Quartermaster Harbor where for many years she was visible as she slowly rotted away.
