KIRKLAND — Crews will resume rescue efforts Thursday for a missing skipper now presumed to have drowned after a boat was found unattended on Lake Washington near Juanita Bay Tuesday.

King County Sheriff’s Office officials said Wednesday the skipper is presumed to have drowned, KCPQ-TV reported.

Multiple search and rescue agencies, including KCSO Marine Rescue Dive Unit and the Coast Guard, resumed their search for the passenger in Lake Washington after reports of a possible person who went overboard Tuesday.

According to the Coast Guard, someone reported a running boat that had collided into a private pier. No one was in the boat, but a cell phone and wallet were found on board.

Crews were treating this as if the person went overboard. They were searching in the north Kirkland area.
