 | Sick 4-year-old rushed to shore |
The Maritime Festival got an extra dose of drama Saturday when Seattle firefighters took a 4-year-old girl off her tour boat and rushed her across Elliott Bay after she suffered a severe allergic reaction.
The call came from an Argosy vessel around 3:45 p.m. during a day of parades and tugboat races. The fireboat, already participating in the festival, carried the girl to a waiting paramedic unit on shore.
She already had received a shot of epinephrine from her mother, so she was alert while medics took her to Children's Hospital & Regional Medical Center, said Fire Department spokeswoman Helen Fitzpatrick.

 | 36 pounds of cocaine seized in raids |
Federal drug agents seized more than 36 pounds of cocaine and $203,000 in cash during overnight raids in Burien on Thursday, ending a 10-month investigation into a Burien-based cocaine ring with ties to Mexico.
The Drug Enforcement Administration and the King County Sheriff's Office used wiretaps and surveillance to dismantle the organization. In all, 17 people were arrested and 16 have been indicted in U.S. District Court, including 10 people arrested last month. Agents seized an additional 2 kilograms of cocaine, three guns, cars and $40,000 in cash during the March arrests, according to court documents and the U.S. attorney's office.
"The organization was large, well-established and was distributing over 30 kilograms of cocaine per month in the Greater Seattle Area," DEA Special Agent in Charge Arnold Moorin said Friday.
