An empty boat was going in circles in the water near Normandy Park in Burien on Friday evening.
The U.S. Coast Guard said they received a report after 4 p.m. that a man onboard a vessel had been doing sharp turns and fell overboard.
The man then swam to shore.
The King County Fire Department checked him to make sure he wasn’t injured and he is OK.
Police said there were six gallons onboard and they waited for the gas to run out before they could tow it to a nearby marina.
The boat circled in the water for at least 90 minutes.
