Coast Guard rescues woman from Puget Sound 2 miles off Edmonds Pier > United States Coast Guard News > Press Releases

SEATTLE – A Coast Guard MH-65 Dolphin helicopter aircrew from Air Station Port Angeles rescued a woman from Puget Sound two miles off Edmonds Pier, Friday. 

At approximately 10 p.m. on Friday, July 17, Snohomish County 911 notified watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Puget Sound that a woman had entered the water off Edmonds Pier. 

Watchstanders immediately coordinated the launch of a MH-65 Dolphin aircrew from Air Station Port Angeles, dispatched a 45-foot Response Boat-Medium crew from Coast Guard Station Seattle, and diverted the Coast Guard Cutter Blue Shark to search for the missing woman. 

The Edmonds Fire Department and Washington State Ferries also assisted in the search.  

During search efforts, the rescue swimmer from the Port Angeles aircrew utilized his handheld night vision device to spot splashing in the water, nearly two miles from the shoreline. The rescue swimmer maintained visual contact and guided the aircrew to the scene, where they located and hoisted the survivor. She was displaying signs of hypothermia and transported to Paine Field at 1:28 a.m. The aircrew met emergency medical services personnel at the airport and the survivor was transported for further medical treatment. 

"We appreciate the expansive search efforts that went into rescuing this individual,” said Lt. Cmdr. Cori F. Sanchez, the aircraft commander. “With the help of the Edmonds Fire Department and Coast Guard Station Seattle, we were able to find her quickly and bring her to EMS. Her splashing in the water was critical in helping the aircrew locate her. It's vital to remember that if in distress, make yourself as visible as possible, by waving arms or using signaling devices when possible.”  

Weather conditions at the time of the search were 3 mph winds, 1-foot waves, 57-degree air temperature, and 53-degree water temperature. 

Lots of unanswered questions…

Live in an apartment out of college for the past 8 months. I get no mail. I don’t expect a lot but like a wedding invitation was returned to the sender. I did not do a formal address change from my parents address since I have the same name as my dad and was told it will create issues.

I went to my local post office with my lease and they said they couldn’t help and that I had to call a number to talk to a manager but no one answers.

I tried to do informed delivery hoping that would get me in their system and it wouldn’t verify me and said to stop by the local post office.

I feel like I am stuck in a loop. Any tricks out there to get me into the USPS system at this address?

(Yes I put my name on the mailbox at the apartment entrance and there are only 5 units)

Seems a bit scammy and not sure I see the benefit in joining.
