2 West Seattle callouts: Water-rescue response, quickly canceled; stuck boat on the Duwamish River

ORIGINAL REPORT, 9:36 PM: Just in case you’re here wondering about the big SFD water-rescue response sent to Seacrest – there was a report of a paddleboarder possibly in trouble near Lowman Beach, but it’s been determined they’re OK, and everyone’s being dismissed. (Seacrest would have been the point at which a patient, if necessary, would have been delivered to a medic unit.)

ADDED 10:38 PM: Thanks to Paul Weatherman for that photo of a fireboat doing some testing, after the aforementioned incident, and before this new one: SFD marine crews are headed to the Duwamish River where a boat has gotten “stuck in the mud” near Kellogg Island. No injuries reported.

Weatherman’s shot is beautiful.

People who were trying to use the boat launch, one of only two in the whole of Seattle, were the losers in this event. We pay for the launch in taxes, and again when we buy a ticket, and the city gets whatever money was charged.
