EVERETT, Wash., January 12, 2022 – The Snohomish estuary and Everett shoreline improved during 2021 due to Snohomish County and the City of Everett’s collaboration to remove six owner abandoned derelict vessels. The removals totaled more than 100 cubic yards of marine debris, which helped eliminate pollutants while also improving the safety of boaters.

In efforts to protect marine life and habitats, Snohomish County Surface Water Management (SWM) Division, the Marine Resources Committee (MRC) and the Everett Police Department partnered with the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Derelict Vessel Removal Program.
