Update: Woodinville Area Man with Dementia Found Safe

Rescue crews searched for a 52-year-old Woodinville-area man with dementia Wednesday morning and found him after about a two-hour search.

Update 11:30 p.m. Feb. 27: The missing male has been located safe and sound, according to a post on the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office Facebook page. Aid is on scene, but he (the man) should be returning home soon, the post said.

Original post--

Rescue crews are reportedly searching for a 52-year-old Woodinville-area man with dementia. He was reported missing from a group home.

Residents have emailed Patch to say they've seen a Sheriff's helicopter patrolling. Woodinville Police Chief Sydney Jackson told Patch this morning that crews have been searching for the man since about 8:45 a.m. 

One resident emailed and said, "the man reportedly left a group home just over the King/Snohomish County line this morning wearing only a T-shirt and unfortunately not even wearing pants."  Patch is working to confirm this and will update as soon as more information becomes available.

If anyone sees him, please call 911.

Hello Mr. Francois and NSD School Board, I have been keeping an open mind about the choice ofRead More Wednesday as the early release day. I kept an open mind, but not so open that my brains fell out. I voted for Friday for a reason. Not to take my child out of school early or in hopes that teachers would see it as a day off, but because it made the most sense for my family. Wednesday wasn't a horrible day and was my 2nd choice. Personally, now, after reviewing others input, your input and doing some thinking on my own, I believe you made the wrong choice. Your parents have brains, we are educated and we gave you our opinion and trusted that you would actually use the poll data wisely. You failed us, therefore you failed our children. It is okay so say you made a mistake, that is what we teach our children. Please tell your parents you made a mistake and make Friday early release day for the new school year. Positively hopeful!

No-brainer, switch to someone else. And tell everyone else to do so too. Like you already are here.

I have lived in Woodinville for over18 years. For around 5 years after we moved there on any warmRead More summer night you could look up and see at least 3 balloons and many times 4,5,6 or 7 of them but that all stopped abruptly one year. The explanation we got was that the balloonist were following the French historical practice of awarding a bottle of champagne to any land owner who's land they happened to land on. Well, the state couldn't allow that since the balloonist had no liquor license. Don't you just love government?
