Marshals Search Homeless Camp for Missing Girl | Seattle News

Missing Child Found in Washington Encampment | Seattle News

A missing Arizona teen was found safe last week in Olympia’s notorious “The Jungle” homeless encampment — a place where locals say minors are rarely seen. Authorities, following a trafficking tip, located the 15-year-old girl after a decade-old encampment became the focus of a cross-state investigation. Outreach groups confirm adults in the camp actively discourage youth from staying, and they’ve rarely encountered teens — usually only those nearly 18. Now, with the child safe and support underway, the city is turning attention to responsibly relocating the encampment while partnering with federal agencies to ensure no one slips through the cracks.

Trooper Guting Case Ends Without Charges | Seattle News

Prosecutors in Pierce County have declined to charge the two drivers involved in the fatal December 2025 crash that killed Trooper Tara-Marysa Guting, 29, who was struck while responding to an accident on State Route 509. The first driver, traveling 35-40 mph, said he couldn’t avoid hitting her; prosecutors found no evidence of reckless driving. The second driver, who didn’t stop, couldn’t be proven to have known he hit someone due to poor visibility and weather. The Washington State Patrol honored Trooper Guting’s legacy — a decorated Army National Guard veteran who served eight years before joining the patrol — while acknowledging the profound grief felt across the agency.
