Neah Bay, Washington (AP) January 2011
An overnight high tide helped refloat a fishing boat that ran aground near Neah Bay on the Olympic Peninsula.
The Department of Ecology says the 88-foot commercial vessel was pulled from a beach near Shipwreck Point last week.
Officials say there are no reports of any oil spill or discharge, but a floating boom was placed around the boat as a precaution until the Coast Guard inspects it.
Ecology, the Coast Guard and the Makah Tribe responded when the vessel ran aground last week.
