SEATTLE — The bodies of two workers remain trapped Monday afternoon after a tunnel collapsed in Shoreline earlier in the day, killing two men — one in his 30s and another in his 60s.
Michelle Pidduck with the Shoreline Fire Department said the incident has now become a “recovery situation.” There is no exact timeline of when the incident occurred.
Family members of the deceased are at the scene. Washington State Labor and Industries officials were also dispatched to the scene.
Oliver Cobb, who lives near Northwest 163rd Street where the incident took place, said neighbors had been working on a sewer repair and dug a 20-foot hole.
