Alki (boat)
The ''Alki'' is a long-serving fireboat in Seattle, Washington.〔 〕 The boat was built in 1927 and is long. Seattle sits on both Puget Sound and a series of freshwater lakes, including Lake Union and Lake Washington.〔 In 2002, after a large fire, where thirty vessels were destroyed, firefighting authorities decided to permanently station a fireboat on the lakes, because it takes an hour for a fireboat to traverse the locks between the lakes and the Ocean. Alki was the vessel chosen. The boat has been taken out of service and was auctioned online beginning March 4, 2013,〔Elisa Jaffe, (Historic Seattle fireboat heading to the auction block ), KOMO News, 2013-03-01. Accessed online 2013-03-01.〕 and sold for $71,000 on March 14, 2013, to an unknown buyer.〔Jack Broom, (Seattle’s 1927 fireboat draws $71,100 bid in online auction ), The Seattle Times, 2013-03-14. Accessed online 2013-03-15.〕 It was stipulated by the City ahead of time that the high bidder must meet certain requirements, including appropriate insurance and moorage. ==References==
