12:58 PM: The big SFD/SPD response to Beach Drive SW is because someone spotted a paddleboard offshore, unoccupied, and is worried someone might be in trouble. Updates to come.
1 PM: Responders are saying the paddleboard appears to be tied to buoy(s). No person(s) in sight.
1:15 PM: Call’s closed, and crews were gone by the time we arrived in the area a few minutes ago.
The paddleboard is tied to a buoy. A neighbor used it to bring their boat in for the winter. Everyone is safe!
There was also what looked like two open cockpit news helicopters that flew at least twice back and forth toward Vashon Island. Might be two separate events.
Any news on the WS ferry, travelling up and down the sound with huge response, including two helicopters and several small boat?
That’s a drill.
