PORT ORCHARD — Authorities are investigating a report of a plane down in the Hood Canal.
Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue says one of its boats had located a debris field Tuesday afternoon in the area where the plane is believed to have gone down. It says the U.S. Coast Guard is sending two vessels to the area to assist.
Kitsap County sheriff’s Sgt. Ken Dickinson says callers reported what appeared to be a plane in distress at about 1 p.m. and that they saw debris in the water.
He says a Coast Guard helicopter spotted the debris field at about 2:15 p.m. in Guillemot Cove near Seabeck.
Dickinson says they’re searching the debris.
