How did a Russian oligarch's seized superyacht end up in Everett?

EVERETT — A $300 million superyacht seized from a Russian oligarch sailed into the Everett port Monday morning.

It reportedly belonged to sanctioned Russian national Suleyman Kerimov.

In February of this year, U.S. officials announced their desire to auction off the yacht due to its expensive upkeep, averaging $7 million per year to maintain.

But before the feds could sell the yacht, it made a pit stop at — of all places — Everett Ship Repair. After leaving San Diego last Wednesday, it made a five-day voyage, finally arriving in Everett around 10 a.m. Monday. The Amadea was ported in San Diego for almost two years.
