Everett police search for missing kayaker after sudden storm Sunday

EVERETT — An adult male kayaker remained missing as of Monday afternoon after Everett police and firefighters rescued multiple paddleboarders from a sudden storm Sunday night.

Just before 5:20 p.m. Sunday, first responders responded to a report of a water rescue involving multiple paddleboarders between the area of Edgewater Park and Mukilteo. The trouble began when a mostly clear day evolved to heavy rain and wind entered the area.

Five people were safely rescued or managed to rescue themselves, according to a Facebook post. Members from the Everett Fire Department rescued three individuals, one from the water and two others who were found clinging to the end of the Boeing pier. A rescue boat from Washington State Ferries helped pull another person in the water.

Multiple agencies, including the U.S. Coast Guard Pacific Northwest, Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office, Mukilteo Fire and Police, South County Fire, and Snohomish Regional Fire & Rescue participated in the rescue efforts.
