Tug boat sinks in Lake Washington
A tug boat sunk near the Ballard Oil Company pier in Lake Washington on Thursday.
The 80-foot noncommercial tug boat was reported to have 620 gallons of diesel onboard.
The Coast Guard Puget Sound Incident Management Division placed a boom and sorbent pads around the sunken vessel in order reduce contamination. Due to the amount of fuel onboard, the Coast Guard also asked Global Diving and Salvage to assist in removing fuel from the boat.
The owner of the tug boat will be responsible for removing the vessel.
