Boat washes up on Wash. coast; may be tsunami debris
LONG BEACH, Wash. (AP) - The Washington Marine Debris Task Force says a 20-foot boat washed ashore Friday on the Long Beach Peninsula.
The boat has some Japanese markings, and officials are trying to determine whether it was washed away in the March 2011 tsunami that hit Japan.
The task force says there's no oil or hazardous materials on the boat that was found near Long Beach on the Washington coast.
The boat is covered with barnacles and other marine life. The Fish and Wildlife Department will steam clean it to remove any invasive species.

Wow, dodged another bullet, good work Tsunami Depris Strike Force for saving us from that 20' monster...
Why not burn it and invite the neighborhood to a clam bake?
Better to spend thousand to steam clean it? Then what? More to tow it away?
Good grief!

@Powderhound So... you clicked on an article you didn't care about and then took the effort to make a pointless, denigrating comment?  It would have made more sense to just click-on and leave the article.
That'll buff out.
