NEAH BAY, Wash. (AP) — An overnight high tide helped refloat a fishing boat that ran aground near Neah Bay on the Olympic Peninsula.

The Department of Ecology says the 88-foot commercial vessel was pulled from a beach near Shipwreck Point early Tuesday.

Officials say there are no reports of any oil spill or discharge, but a floating boom was placed around the boat as a precaution until the Coast Guard inspects it.

Ecology, the Coast Guard and the Makah Tribe responded when the vessel ran aground Monday evening.
