The DNR’s Ear to the Ground blog has this story. But heck, this list doesn’t even include the wreck I spotted this summer!
A big thanks to KOMO 4 News and the Seattle PIfor yesterday’s news video and article about the many derelict vessels littering and, in several cases, polluting our state’s waterways. DNR administers the state’s Derelict Vessel Removal Program, and works with local governments — and the owners — to remove these rotting relics. See DNR’s 10-page list (!) of derelict vessels awaiting action — OK, it’s doublespaced but it still has close to 200 vessels, some up to 200-feet in length and containing diesel, motor oil, solvents, hydraulic fluids, battery acid… you get the idea.
