NORTH BEND — A search has been launched for two women hikers missing near North Bend.
KOMO-TV reports the two women, identified by friends as Jennifer and Elizabeth Moran of Bothell, were reported overdue Sunday night when they did not return from their hike.
Cindi West with the King County Sheriff’s Office says the two left to hike a trail near the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River, but apparently became lost.
Deputies found their car late Sunday near the Pratt River trailhead, and teams with King County Search and Rescue began looking for them at first light on Monday.
West says it’s not known whether the two were equipped to spend the night in the wild. Conditions in the area were rainy overnight with low temperatures in the 40s.
