A barge drifted away and made contact with Pier 66 in Elliott Bay on Thursday afternoon, but authorities said there were no injuries in the incident. The United States Coast Guard was notified of a 300-foot container barge that drifted from Terminal 18 at the Port of Seattle toward Pier 66 in Elliott Bay. The Coast Guard said in a tweet that three tug boats regained control of the barge and placed it in tow where it is being moved to Terminal 115. "The Coast Guard was notified at 1:25 p.m. yesterday that the vessel was adrift. At 1:35 p.m. the tug boats were on scene,” said Petty Officer 3rd Class William Kirk. Kirk says about two minutes later, the barge crashed into Pier 66. The pier was damaged in the incident, but the extent of the damage was not released. "I think it just looked bigger than a boat is supposed to be right here. I think that is what caught my eye,” said witness Megan Blunda. "I was really struck by the fact that it was really wiggling a lot, it was super windy, and it seemed like it was kind of bumping into that little wall."
