Dead whale on Everett beach to be towed to Camano Island

EVERETT — Beachgoers gathered around a 43-foot-long gray whale Monday, examining the barnacles on its back and the scars in its rubbery skin.

The creature washed ashore Sunday near Harborview Park.

The Everett Police Department and the state Department of Fish and Wildlife are planning to have the carcass towed at high tide on Tuesday to Camano Island, where it will be left to decompose, said Michael Milstein, a spokesperson for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

He did not know the exact destination on Camano.

Authorities hope to examine the whale later this week and determine its age, gender and cause of death, Milstein said.
