Late Tuesday night, a 30-foot boat sank at Shilshole Bay Marina boat launch. The Seattle Fire Department responded at 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 9 after reports of a boat that was taking on water.
Kyle Moore from Seattle Fire says when firefighters arrived, the bow of the boat had sunk to hit the approximately 6-foot bottom. Crews used prosser pumps to remove water from the vessel, but because the boat had sunk below the portals, the boat was not able to be pumped out. Moore says the Seattle Police Harbor Patrol Unit took command of the scene, and the Department of Ecology was on site to monitor any fuel spills. There were no injuries in the incident.
