UPDATE: Water-rescue callout for boat taking on water north of Alki Point

9:05 PM: Two multi-unit water-rescue responses are heading out – one for Alki Point, one for the Seacrest/Don Armeni area (if anyone needs to be brought ashore). According to radio dispatch, a 48-foot boat with two people aboard is reported to be taking on water “half a mile north” of Alki Point. More as we get it.

9:13 PM: Per radio communication, responders are still working to find the vessel reporting it’s in trouble.

9:17 PM: Now rescuers are reported to have reached the vessel and rescued the two people from it. The land response has been dismissed; two SFD fireboats remain assigned to the call.

    I saw all the blue lights and looked to see the boat lighting a flare.

Sorry, comment time is over.
