SEATTLE — The Coast Guard says an 18-foot boat belonging to a crab fisherman missing in waters near Anacortes has been found overturned and grounded on rocks. The active search for Dean Harvey, 48, of Bremerton has been suspended.
Petty Officer 3rd Class Katelyn Shearer said the search was called off at 5 p.m. Wednesday. A Coast Guard helicopter and two boats searched Wednesday, along with two other boats and two other helicopters.
Shearer says Harvey was last seen Tuesday morning when he and his brother left Anacortes in separate fishing boats to go crabbing. The brother reported him missing Tuesday afternoon.
She says the boat was found a few hundred yards off the south end of Lopez Island, due west of Anacortes.
