A local fisherman has gone missing and authorities and friends are asking for everyone’s help to find him.
Jim (James) Carter, who runs JC Maintenance in Coupeville, is 58, 6-foot-1 and around 180-190 pounds. He never made it home from work last night and has failed to answer his phone, as well.
He was last seen Thursday afternoon and was headed to a landscaping job in the Penn Cove area.
Carter is most likely wearing a baseball hat, Levi jeans (blue or black), work boots, t-shirt and a hooded sweatshirt.
The son of Nick and Treva Carter, he can frequently be seen casting off the shore in pursuit of salmon.
He drives a late ’90s GMC Sonoma dark blue pickup, which has a camper shell and a work trailer attached. The name of his business is on the pickup door.
If anyone has seen him or has information, please contact Marilyn Sherman Clay at (360) 914-7418 or call the Coupeville Police Department.












































I checked down Harrington Lagoon Rd where I frequently see him working and fishing, but no sign of his truck…
I will do some driving around tomorrow and look for Jimmy…..please let me know if someone finds him….this is just not like him….Let me know if you need my help at all…I am here for jimmy and Cathy…
With all the rain, if he was towing a trailer, he may have lost control and went off the road and down into a ravine where you can’t see the vehicle from the road, unless you are walking. Check all roads that lead to the job he was going to, as he may have taken a different route than normal, for some unknown reason.
