SEATTLE – The Coast Guard reports that it rescued three Washington state men from a sinking fishing boat after the vessel hit a jetty at the exit to Grays Harbor.

Eggert identifies the men as Gary D. Cortner, of Tacoma; Beunthoeun B. Toun, of Seattle, and James Timothy Maupin, of Westport.
No injuries were reported.
