SEATTLE (AP) - The Coast Guard has suspended its search for a body reportedly seen by two people in the water near the Mukilteo ferry terminal.
They described seeing a brown hooded sweat shirt, jeans and black shoes.
A state ferry launched a small boat after the report just before 10 a.m. Thursday but it did not find any body.
The Coast Guard, Tulalip tribal police and the Snohomish County sheriff's office conducted a joint search with a helicopter, an 87-foot patrol boat and three small boats.
The search was suspended Thursday afternoon.
