Abandoned boats washed up at Howarth Park slated for removal
EVERETT — Two beached boats at Howarth Park in Everett have overstayed their welcome, authorities say.
The Everett Police Department is working with state agencies and the county’s Marine Resources Committee to remove the pair that washed up earlier this month.
Earlier this week, state Department of Ecology crews checked both boats for oil or fuel spills but found none, spokesperson Larry Altose said.
Now, Everett Police Lt. Jeff Hendrickson is leading the charge for their removal. There’s no timeline for when that could occur or how much it may cost, a department spokesperson said.
Once the city places a legal notice on the boats, the owners will have 30 days to move them. If they don’t, a contractor will be hired to haul them away.
