RedactedNarrative: On 8/19/2012 at approximately 5:10 pm two vessels collided on Lake Stevens. 
  
  Vessel #1 - was a 16'10" open motorboat powered by a 115 HP outboard engine.  
  Vessel #2 - was a 19'6" cabin motorboat powered by a 100 HP outboard engine.  
  Both individuals were operating their respective vessels on the waters of Lake Stevens.  Operator1 (V-1) was traveling in the required counter-clockwise direction while pulling his son on a tube.  Operator1 did not appear to be aware of other vessels in the area.  Operator2 (V-2) was pulling 2 grandchildren on a tube, but was not traveling in any one specific direction.  Operator2 also did not appear to be aware of other vessels on the water and did not yield the right-of-way as required in a crossing situation when he turned into Operator1.  Both vessels collided. 
  
  The bow of Operator2's vessel (V-2) hit the port side bow of V-1 (operated by Operator1.)  The force of the collision then propelled the stern of both vessels together.  Damage was significant to Operator1's vessel and was likely a total loss.  The damage to Operator2's vessel was substantial and estimated to be approximately $3000. 
  
  One person on each vessel was injured severely enough to be transported to the hospital.  V2 occupant received facial injuries that required treatment beyond first aid, but she was not admitted to the hospital.  V1 occupant received chest/rib contusions which required treatment beyond first aid, but she also was not admitted to the hospital.   
  
  The operator of V-1, Operator1, was cited under Washington Administrative Code 352.60.030  for insufficient Personal Flotation Devices. 
  The operator of V-2, Operator2, was cited under WAC 352.60.070 - Failure to Maintain a Proper Lookout. 
  
  There was no evidence or apparent alcohol use noted by the investigating officer
