1:56 PM: Police are looking for two girls, ages 4 and 10, in eastern West Seattle, and their family has asked us to get the word out too. The older girl has brown hair, wearing pink sweats and a pink orange jacket; younger girl has blonde hair, wearing a bright orange or blue (reversible) jacket and bright pink pants. They left their house without permission more than an hour ago and might be in the greenbelt behind Sanislo Elementary, their family says. If you see them, please call 911.

3:01 PM: Per scanner – just found, near South Seattle College.

3:26 PM: We have also confirmed with police in the area, that they are OK and safe. Medics were called to check them out just to be sure.

Is their family willing to release names or photos? It might be easier for neighbors to aid the search of they are. So worrying!

At this point I think that you’d know them if you saw them, especially in the Puget Ridge area. If heaven forbid this stretches on much longer, the tactics might change. They are currently looking into a report of a possible sighting by South Seattle College.

sounds like the same two kids that had a helicopter looking for them last summer.

Two police cars by the greenbelt at 14th and Holly. A third one just went by.

Nice! Glad the children were found.

Thank goodness! Now give them a great big hug and then a stern talking too.

Hope the officers on scene had the sense to ask the girls WHY they felt the need to leave the house. Children don’t leave home without a reason, even a reason that may seem silly to adults.
