SEATTLE (AP) - The Coast Guard is searching for a body reported by two people to be in the water near the Mukilteo ferry terminal.

They described seeing a tan coat, blue pants and black sneakers.

A state ferry launched a small boat after the report just before 10 a.m. Thursday but it did not find the body.

The Coast Guard says sent a helicopter and boat to the scene, and Snohomish County also responded.
