A construction worker has been killed in a construction accident on Guemes Island.
The Anacortes Fire Department says a house fell off of its foundation Saturday afternoon and crushed a 57-year-old construction worker to death.
The department says workers were lowering the house to comply with building codes when it slipped. All of the workers except one was able to safely get away from the structure.
The Skagit County Sheriff’s Office says that the victim is an employee of the construction company involved in the accident.
Rescuers and equipment are being ferried over from Anacortes, which is just south of Guemes Island.
