A human foot washed up on Jetty Island in Everett on Tuesday afternoon.
Everett police say beach goers on the south end of the island called 911 to report a boot with a foot inside. Marine Operations officers and a Major Crimes detective arrived and confirmed what appears to be a human foot inside a boot, which appears to have been in the water for quite a while.
The foot is now with the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office, which will confirm whether the foot is human and will attempt to establish identity.
It’s not uncommon for human feet to wash ashore, but recent discoveries have been centered in British Columbia. A 14th foot was discovered in May 2018 on the east coast of Vancouver Island, according to CNN. Coroners say the feet are often found in a shoe, which protects them from the elements and nibbling sea creatures.
