GRANITE FALLS, Wash. (AP) — A Snohomish County sheriff’s spokeswoman says all three teens who found themselves stranded by bad weather on a Snohomish County peak are safely off Three Fingers Mountain.
Lt. Kathi Lang says that after one teen walked out Wednesday, the weather cleared sufficiently for a rescue helicopter to pluck the other two teens off the mountain in separate trips Wednesday evening. One of those two had hiked part-way down with rescuers. Lang says the third teen was suffering from back pain from a prior injury.
Lang said the three boys were “about 17.” They are from the Marysville-Arlington area.
They called for help by cell phone Tuesday night after they encountered fog, snow, rain and cold on the 6,800-foot mountain.
Sheriff’s spokeswoman Rebecca Hover says rescuers reached the teens Wednesday morning and started warming them with portable heaters in tents.
