DARRINGTON — Seattle police and Snohomish County sheriff’s deputies are looking for a 33-year-old woman who told friends Friday she was going hiking near Darrington and hasn’t been heard from since.
Friends told police that Mary Hyde Wingfield of Seattle is an avid hiker who often goes on trips by herself, Seattle police said in a statement.
She told friends she was headed to the Sulfur Creek or Buck Creek area on the Suiattle River Road east of Darrington, Snohomish County sheriff’s spokeswoman Rebecca Hover said.
Wingfield was expected to return Sunday night but hasn’t been heard from since Friday, Seattle police said.
Deputies have searched trailhead parking lots for the woman’s white 1997 Toyota Corolla, Washington license plate 432UHK, but have been unable to find the car, Hover said.
“There’s no way to really search,” Seattle police spokesman Mark Jamieson said. “They checked the areas where friends thought she went to.”
Wingfield is described as white, 5-feet-2-inch tall woman weighing about 110 pounds. She has brown eyes and black hair.
Police believe she was wearing a black fleece jacket, a dark green and gray rain coat, blue jeans and boots. She may be carrying a blue backpack.
Anyone who sees Wingfield or her car is asked to call 911.
