One man swam to shore and another was rescued by fishermen after their boat flipped in Silver Lake on Sunday.

Neither man was injured, said Jeff Edmonds, a battalion chief with the Everett Fire Department.

The men fell into the water about 12:15 p.m., according to the fire department. Water rescue crews rushed to the popular south Everett lake, but the men were already out before they could launch a rescue mission.

Crews from the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office pulled the tipped boat out of the water.
