A search and rescue crew from NAS Whidbey Island assisted in yesterday’s rescue of two boys trapped under snow and ice on Snoqualmie Pass.

The five-person crew, made up of two pilots, two aviation warfare systems operators and one hospital corpsman, launched from the air station at 6:30 p.m. in Firewood 2, an MH-60S Knighthawk. After a short transit, they were on scene and made a few passes through the area to locate a safe area for pickup.

Bandera Mountain

Posted by Larry Cragun No Comments »

Karen Sykes of the Seattle P I calls Bandera Mountain one of the most popular hikes in the region.

In early July it is one of the few snow-free trails in the Mount Baker – Snoqualmie National Forest.Karen writes about Bandera here.

The hike can lead you to Mason Lake.

Take Interstate 90 east and get off at Exit 45 (Road No. 9030). At the stop sign, turn left, go under the freeway to Forest Service Road No. 9030. Drive about a half-mile to a road junction and continue straight about three miles on Road No. 9031 to trailhead parking and facilities, elevation about 2,300 feet. Allow about an hour drive time from Seattle. A Northwest Forest Pass is required.
