SEATTLE — Coast Guard crews are looking for a Bremerton man reported overdue on a crab fishing voyage out of Anacortes.

Petty Officer 3rd Class Katelyn Shearer says 48-year-old Dean Harvey was last seen Tuesday morning when he and his brother left Anacortes on separate 18-foot fishing vessels to go crabbing. They agreed to return to Anacortes at midafternoon.

The brother reported Harvey overdue late Tuesday afternoon.

A Coast Guard helicopter from Port Angeles searched the area before landing due to deteriorating weather. Two Coast Guard boats are involved in the search.

Heavy rain is reported in the area, with 200 yards visibility, seas of 1 to 2 feet and 12 to 17 mph winds.
