An 18-20 foot fiberglass boat has been towed from the east side of Lake Fenwick in Kent to the boat launch area on the west side where a tow truck will remove it.
The boat was investigated at noon Tuesday after a passerby noticed it overturned and called 911, according to a Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Authority media release.
Divers and water rescue firefighters from several south King County departments, including Kent, responded to the scene and determined that the boat was unoccupied and appeared abandoned. Divers also searched the bottom of the small lake under the boat.
At this point it is not clear why the boat was overturned and abandoned. There was no boat registration on the hull.
Lake Fenwick is 17 acres in surface area and is on the West Hill of Kent.
