Today we spent the day with Kittitas Co SAR, helping to extract 2 hikers who fell over a large cliff. Special thank to the @MtRescueAssoc's newest member, NAS Whidbey Island SAR, who helped pickup one of our team docs and get these 2 out of the mountains.


SMR is currently working with King County ESAR, King County 4x4 SAR & King County IST to rescue 3 stuck climbers who were forced to overnight on Mt Thomson. Latest report from teams is that they have assisted the climbers to safety and are starting the long hike back to the trailhead.

A huge win for Search&Rescue teams in WA today. After 8 days lost near Skykomish and Hwy2, Mountain Rescue teams located a missing 18 year old gal ALIVE. Big thanks to Olympic MtnRescue, Tacoma Mtn Rescue and all the King County SAR teams who we worked with this week to find her.





Completed a rescue on Guye Peak this afternoon. A climber was injured in a nasty fall. Lots of credit to Seattle Mountain Rescue for getting to her quickly and having her ready to go when we arrived.
