SEATTLE — Authorities say tools and a boat were stolen from a Washington prison island that’s home to the state Special Commitment Center.
KOMO-TV reports a 20-foot (6-meter) boat belonging to the state Department of Social and Health Services was discovered to be missing from McNeil Island on Friday.
The Washington State Patrol says a small boat without a hull number was found abandoned on the island.
The island was home to a federal prison for the decades. The facility was later turned over to the state, which operated a prison at the site that also closed.
