Barge runs into Seattle waterfront before water taxi pushes it away [View all]

A barge hit a barrier on the Seattle waterfront Thursday, according to the Seattle Fire Department (SFD).

The barge hit a barrier near the Seattle Aquarium before a water taxi pushed it away from the waterfront. The barge did not make contact with the Seattle Aquarium pier.




“Barge cut loose and it hit the Marina broadside,” Mike Lewis told KIRO Newsradio at the scene. “I think it appears to be secured. It’s a sizable barge with probably, I don’t know, 50 or 60 containers on it at a minimum, probably more than that.”




No injuries were reported. The barge was later seen to be taken away by tugboats.
