Good morning, Bellingham.

A Lummi fisherman died near Point Roberts last week when his vessel began taking on water and a Canadian rescue crew arrived before the U.S. Coast Guard.

The fisherman's family and Lummi Nation criticized the Coast Guard for its slow response—stating that every second counted.
