Bremerton crabber Dean Harvey, a member of the S’klallam tribe, disappeared while checking his crab pots Tuesday, Nov. 25.

The Coast Guard conducted a search and found his damaged boat on South Lopez Island Wednesday morning but called off the search due to weather conditions, said Harvey’s longtime friend Tanya Christenson.

Harvey and his brother Robert Romero were checking their crab pots Tuesday, starting in Burrows Bay near Anacortes. They planned to meet back up at Lopez Pass, but Harvey never arrived.

Harvey is age 49, 6-foot-2 and approximately 210 pounds. He was last seen wearing yellow bib overalls or rain pants, a dark-green raincoat, a black hoodie with a Gage logo and had on a dark-colored beanie hat.

Family and friends of Harvey are asking for volunteers to help continue the search, people willing to look, divers or others with boats they could lend to the cause. They also want to ask the boating community and people living in waterfront properties to keep their eyes open.
