Large pipe washes ashore on Wash. coast
SEAVIEW, Wash. (AP) - A large pipe washed ashore Tuesday on the Washington coast near the mouth of the Columbia River at Cape Disappointment State Park.
It's 19 feet long and 3 feet in diameter.
State officials are trying to determine whether its debris from the March 2011 tsunami in Japan, but there are no markings that would help.
The state Marine Debris Task Force says the state Fish and Wildlife Department is checking for any invasive species in the seaweed clinging to the cylinder.

Uh huh, a pipe. Sure it is.
Sort of reminds me of the opening scenes in 2001: A Space Oddysey. Perhaps they could get an ape to stand next to it. And no, I'm not volunteering! LOL
That's no pipe. Â Not with closed end plates. Â Looks like a column or support. Â It either came from a ship, or a dock. Â More tsunami stuff/
 @pdxracefan It can't be a column, support or pillar. It's lying sideways.
The wind blew it over!
Yep, that is a large pipe alright.
I found a plastic safeway bag in my back yard this morning, I wonder how it got there? Maybe I should give these guys a call
I'm very suprised a tweaker isn't trying to scrap that sucker..
Oh...that's mine; I've been looking all around the house for it for weeks....how it turned up there I'll never know.
Congratulations. Poseidon has bestowed upon thee a bong after hearing of the recent legislation.
give it to a local scrapper
Something that big should just have the assumption that it came from the tsunami. Why even try to "figure it out"?Â
@washcomom Obviously it's an ancient relic from Atlantis
@washcomom I know, kind of dumb

@Dr. Rawdog Leave it there long enough and it'll become a pillar of the community!
