Woman Boater Drowns In Lake Stevens Boating Accident

As the summer season continues on, an increasing number of boating accidents and boating fatalities are being reported around Seattle and in Washington State as a whole. Last weekend was no exception, with police investigating a fatal boating accident on Lake Stevens that took place on Saturday.

The 48-year-old Lake Stevens woman was the driver of a 20-foot ski boat with a wake board tower. There were nine other passengers aboard the boat, all of whom made it safely ashore after the accident. Witnesses reported that the boat capsized.

According to the Snohomish County Sheriff's office, the accident happened on Saturday evening, although the cause of the boating accident was not immediately clear. The other passengers were saved from the water before emergency workers arrived at the scene, but the driver of the boat went down with her vessel. A red boat that was socializing with the sunken boat pulled the other boating accident victims from the water.

A search and recovery party was called off around midnight and resumed on Sunday morning, when high-tech sonar gear provided by the Seattle Police Department was able to locate the sunken boat containing the boating victim's body.

The boat was in 50 feet of water. The identities of those involved in the accident and of the victim have not been released. It is not clear whether drugs or alcohol were a factor in the deadly boating accident. It is also not clear whether overloading was a factor in the accident.
