Sheriff's Office Investigating Fatal Personal Watercraft Collision

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 25, 2026

STANWOOD, Wash. – Around 8:00 a.m. Tuesday, deputies and Marysville Fire were called to a residence on Lake Goodwin after there was a reported collision between a personal watercraft and a private dock. An adult male, the only occupant of the vessel, had been riding a personal watercraft when he collided with a dock and sustained traumatic injuries. Community members who heard the collision responded and were able to remove the subject from the water. Marysville Fire personnel arrived and performed CPR. However, the victim was ultimately pronounced deceased at the scene of the collision.

The Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office responded to the scene and took custody of the decedent. Positive identification, as well as cause and manner of death, will come from the Medical Examiner.

The Sheriff’s Office Marine Services Unit responded and removed the personal watercraft from the water. The Marine Services Unit also has taken the primary investigative role in this collision investigation.

This remains an active investigation.

Please Help Us Preserve Our History For Future Generations

We'd love for you to be a part of preserving those stories which are unique to our community. We lost our 31 year old community built museum almost 5 years ago and have been working on creating exhibits for the interior of our new museum that is scheduled to be completed next Oct.

The exterior portion of the museum, which will be built next to the Grimm House, will be built with a combination of grant money from the state and a bond. The Lake Stevens Historical Society is responsible for raising funds for the interior exhibits. As such we are asking those who love our local history for help in raising the funds.

How can you help?

*Make a donation. Even a small amount will provide us with resources to create engaging exhibits in our new museum.

*Share our fundraising campaign on social media. Word of mouth is an important form of marketing.

*Volunteer your skills. We are always looking for volunteers with a wide range of skills to be a part of our organization. Let us know your unique talents and we will see how you can contribute to our organization.

Our Mission statement:To educate the community about our town's unique historical past. We accomplish this by gathering and preserving informational materials and artifacts, which can be used in creating a sense of community through interpretive educational exhibits, programs, and events.

Thank you for your generosity and for playing an important part in creating vibrant exhibits in our new museum.
