Officers said the man, 35, was injured after he was struck by a pickup in the intersection at 112th Street SW and Fourth Avenue W. The man was thrown about 20 feet into the air.
He was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Mukilteo: Paving work closes beach
Edgewater Beach near downtown will be closed indefinitely while workers pave an old road that will be used for construction of a new Port of Everett pier.
The paving work was requested by the city to help keep down the dust as workers head to the area near the former site of Air Force fuel storage tanks. The port is building a new pier to handle oversized container cargo for the Boeing Co. and other customers.
No reopening date is set for the road, but officials acknowledge the beach could be closed to the public for some time.
In addition to the work on the pier, which is expected to be completed early next year, officials hope to develop a new transportation center and ferry dock on the old fuel tank site.
Eventually, the beach access should be enhanced as part of the project.
Camano Island: Diver identified
A man who drowned Sunday while scuba diving off Onamac Point on the west side of Camano Island has been identified by the Island County Medical Examiner’s Office as Bruce Lee, 54, of Marysville.
Lee was diving with a friend around 4 p.m. when he was reported missing, said Petty Officer Adam Eggers, a spokesman for the U.S. Coast Guard.
The friend, who had surfaced, noticed the bubbles coming from his companion’s scuba tank had stopped, Eggers said. When he could not find his friend, he called 911, and the Camano Island Fire Department brought out two boats to search for the man, Eggers said.
The body was later recovered.
