A fishing boat was lost at sea on Sunday off Willapa Bay, with two survivors and a lost crewman who has been the subject of an ongoing Coast Guard search. Tragedies like these remind us how much we owe our hardworking fishing families. It’s a sad fact that news stories like these are often overlooked by mainstream media, because death and tragedy at sea are not uncommon. It’s up to us, their local communities, to honor their loss.
