How did a Russian oligarch's seized superyacht end up in Everett?



EVERETT — A $300 million superyacht seized from a Russian oligarch sailed into the Everett port Monday morning.

-snip-

It reportedly belonged to sanctioned Russian national Suleyman Kerimov.

In February of this year, U.S. officials announced their desire to auction off the yacht due to its expensive upkeep, averaging $7 million per year to maintain.

But before the feds could sell the yacht, it made a pit stop at — of all places — Everett Ship Repair. After leaving San Diego last Wednesday, it made a five-day voyage, finally arriving in Everett around 10 a.m. Monday. The Amadea was ported in San Diego for almost two years.
