A boating safety class will be taught this month by the United State Coast Guard Auxiliary to qualify people to obtain a Washington Boaters Card. The card is required for everyone from age 12 to 60 to operate a vessel of 15 or more horsepower in the state.

The class will be from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. offered on June 28. It will be taught at Bellevue Fire Station No, 9, 12412 S.E. 69th Way, Newcastle.

Registration is required and the $30 fee per person includes materials, an exam and a USCG certificate. Those who pre-register will have books mailed to them, giving them some time to study the material and make passing the exam easier.

To register or for information, contact Terrence Hooper at 425-885-0259 or email at HoopCGAUX@gmail.com. Email is preferred.
