GODDAMMIT!
Ferry passengers from south Vashon to Point Defiance reported that the smell of oil was very heavy near the south Vashon ferry dock. The spill was initially reported at about an acre in size, but aerial photography from the SkyKING helicopter showed the spill stretching from Commencement Bay almost the entire length of Vashon Island, about five miles long.
Wetlands preserves in those areas are BONED,"The biggest problem we've got now is that there's no response going on yet," Fletcher told KING 5 News around noon, 11 hours after the spill was first reported.
No cleanup efforts were apparent around noon, but several boats with containment booms were on the water shortly thereafter.
