From the WA State Department of Transportation:
Crews searching for small plane overdue to Lynden
Crews are searching for a small, private plane that never reached its planned destination Saturday, July 11.
The plane, with three occupants including the owner/pilot, left western Montana about 4 p.m. Saturday and was due in Lynden at 7 p.m. Pacific Standard time. The plane did not arrive and family members notified authorities. All three occupants are family members. Their names are not being released at this time.
The last cell phone signal from one of the plane’s occupants was detected at about 11 p.m. in an area near Omak. The search is centering south of Mount Baker, along the intended flight plan. The plane is described as a white and red Beech 35 aircraft.
That would explain the helicopters overhead this morning... Sending them our prayers.
