3 people, dog rescued from sinking vessel near Orcas Island
Three people and a dog were rescued from a sinking vessel Tuesday in Echo Bay, the Coast Guard said Wednesday in a statement.
Watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Puget Sound got a report Tuesday afternoon around 2 p.m. of a 57-foot vessel taking on water after it struck rocks while entering Echo Bay near Sucia Island.
A Coast Guard response boat from the Bellingham station was diverted to assist, as good Samaritans arrived on scene and helped reduce the amount of water the endangered boat was taking on.
A Canadian Coast Guard helicopter also hovered above the scene to monitor the vessel.
