Since first word of 86-year-old Jim Price‘s disappearance, people have asked how they can help. If you are available this afternoon, we just received this announcement:
A team will meet at Delridge Community Center (4501 Delridge Way SW) at 2 pm for a coordinated search.
Jim, who has dementia and hearing loss, was last seen Monday evening in the 3600 block of 22nd SW on Pigeon Point. He might have been intending to set out for the Senior Center in The Junction.
I’m sorry I’m not able to help w/the search except to say, harkening back to another WS neighbor and friend who wandered off in a similar situation, look in backyards and bushes, in places you would not expect a person to go, not just streets and businesses. They are confused, reasoning is diminished, and they don’t know to call for help, and may be in and out of understanding they are lost. Every WSeattlelite can help in so much as scouring their own property, besides casting the wider net.
His wife says he had his Orca card on him. Is there a way to find out if his card has been used since he went missing?
They have checked his Orca card and it hasn’t been used , which doesn’t mean he hasn’t taken a bus, just that he didn’t present the card. He is used to taking the bus and people frequently get on without paying.

Any update from the search today? Where did they search, specifically? Any plans for another search?
I didn’t make the official search party time, due to getting off work, but I drove around Pigeon Point an hour later stopping to look on stair landings and alley ways. Obviously nothing to report. I feel sorry for Jim and his loved ones too. I’ll keep looking for him.
Will there be another organized search Friday or this weekend? Happy to help.
There is another search happening today at 2pm again meeting at the Delridge Community Center. Please join if you are able.
Hope they found safe but if not yet, is there a search this weekend?
I just saw someone very similar on pike street walking towards second. Flannel square jacket opened and a shirt underneath, jeans. I was driving and couldn’t park but as soon as I was able I called 911, I looked at the picture and he did looked very similar. He had white hair and bold. The only thing is that he had a purple cane and I haven’t seen any description noting a cane. I drove back to see if I could find him again but I did not see him. Maybe he went inside one of the businesses around. Hopefully that is him.
Can you please give details as to where you were? We will go search immediately.
In case the commenter doesn’t respond, this *downtown* spot would be where they’re referencing:

I saw him walking on the left side on pike street in downtown seattle going towards 2nd street. I drove after around to try to find him but did not see him…maybe he went to one of the businesses. It was near Marshall’s or Ross not sure which store was (pike and second).
You could reach out to me if needed. Not sure how can I send you my contact privately here.
Thank you WestSeattle41. We kept an eye on traffic cameras in that area but no luck. Really appreciate your driving around to find him.
Sorry, comment time is over.
