Authorities and loved ones are urgently searching for Alex Keen, who has been reported missing after reportedly leaving for a hiking trip on Saturday morning, May 9, and failing to return or make contact. Concern continues to grow as search and rescue teams intensify efforts to locate him in Washington state wilderness areas.
According to updates shared by friends and supporters, Alex Keen’s vehicle has now been located at the Mt. Pugh trailhead. Following this development, Snohomish County Search and Rescue teams have expanded their operations and are actively searching the area using both helicopters and ground crews.
Earlier reports indicated that Alex may have planned to hike near Mt. Poe, though that location had not been confirmed. Additional information later suggested Mt. Pugh as another possible destination, which has now become the primary focus of the ongoing search after the discovery of his vehicle.
Family members, friends, and volunteers are asking the public for assistance as the search continues. Anyone who may have been hiking in the Mt. Pugh area or surrounding trails over the weekend is encouraged to come forward with any information that could help investigators and rescue personnel establish Alex’s movements or possible location.
Alex was last known to be heading out for a hike on Saturday morning. Concern escalated after he failed to appear for his scheduled skydive shift at Snohomish Airport on Sunday morning, something loved ones say is highly unusual.
Search teams continue working under challenging conditions in hopes of locating him safely. Officials are urging anyone who may have seen Alex Keen within the last 48 hours, spoken with him, or noticed anything unusual near the hiking areas to contact local authorities immediately. Even small details could prove important in assisting the investigation and ongoing rescue efforts.
The community has begun rallying around the search effort, sharing updates widely across social media platforms to increase awareness and encourage people familiar with the hiking regions to assist with information. Friends describe Alex as someone passionate about outdoor activities, and many remain hopeful for a safe outcome as crews continue their search operations.
At this time, no additional details regarding his whereabouts or condition have been confirmed publicly. Search and rescue personnel remain actively involved, and updates are expected as more information becomes available.
Anyone with information related to Alex Keen’s disappearance is encouraged to contact local law enforcement or Snohomish County Search and Rescue immediately.
