2:29 PM: A major Seattle Fire response is on the way to the 3700 block of Beach Drive [map] for a rescue response – a report of an overturned kayak, 300 yards offshore. Units are being sent by land and sea. More to come.

2:37 PM: A fireboat is reported to be making contact with a kayaker and trying to determine if anyone is actually in need of help.
2:42 PM: The Coast Guard subsequently reported that another kayaker might have helped someone in trouble, but right now it’s being concluded there is no (longer an) emergency. Some of the responding units are being dismissed.
2:47 PM: Our crew is there now and has been told the same thing on shore – one paddler assisted another and everyone is OK now.
