MUKILTEO — A small seaplane ran out of fuel and landed in Possession Sound on Sunday afternoon between here and Whidbey Island.

Nobody was hurt when the plane landed about 1:30 p.m. Police and firefighters were called. A Washington State Ferry on the Mukilteo-Whidbey Island run stopped briefly in case the pilot needed assistance.

Crews later docked the plane at the Mukilteo waterfront.
