West Seattle Water Taxi to the rescue
You’ve probably seen video of the runaway barge in Elliot Bay last week slamming into Pier 66.
The six-story wall of steel containers broke free in high winds and was headed towards the Great Wheel.
Things could’ve been much worse if it wasn’t for the quick thinking of Captain Dan Krehbiel, steering a Water Taxi from West Seattle.
We met up with him on the boat over the weekend.
