No one overboard off Washington ferry, search ends

The search for a man reported overboard from a Washington state ferry in Seattle's Elliott Bay has been called off.

SEATTLE —

The search for a man reported overboard from a Washington state ferry in Seattle's Elliott Bay has been called off.

Coast Guard Petty Officer Colin White says everyone on board has been accounted for. He says debris in the water was mistaken for someone.

Ferry spokeswoman Susan Harris says it was a floating log with a balloon attached.

The man overboard alarm delayed Wednesday's 7:55 a.m. run of the Wenatchee from Bainbridge Island to Seattle. Several small Coast Guard boats and a tug helped the ferry search.
