    Finding
    Coastal Sensing & Survey's Lake Washington Mapping Project lists and depicts a YMS Minesweeper 359 wreck in Lake Washington. The project reports ongoing exploration and mapping; the QA correction identifies this as the diver-surveyed YMS-359 wreck at approximately 200 feet depth.

    Limitations
    The project directly maps and images the wreck, but the public page does not state the approximately 200-foot depth or detail the identification method. Depth and positive identification are carried from the supplied 2026-09-29 fact-QA correction. The source supports Lake Washington, not Lake Union. It says nothing about asbestos or exposure.
