ARLINGTON — A teenage girl was found Monday after she’d been missing for about 20 hours, according to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.

Lilly Potter, 15, hadn’t been seen since late Sunday, when she disappeared from the 28700 block of Highway 9, about four miles north of Arlington.

Sheriff’s deputies were called to help find her around noon Monday. Photos of her were shared across social media and in the local news media.

A tip led deputies to find her around 8:30 p.m. at a transit center in Lake Stevens. She was safe, and taken to a hospital for observation.
