Multiple rescue crews, including an e-bike team, worked together to rescue a lost hiker in the Cougar Mountain area on Monday night. According to Seattle Mountain Rescue, their e-bike team “played a critical role, rapidly covering large sections of trailโfreeing up ground teams to focus on off-trail areas.” Crews from Seattle Mountain Rescue (SAR), King County Explorer Search and Rescue (ESAR), Regional Special Vehicle Unit (RSVU), King County 4×4 Search and Rescue (KC 4×4), and King County Search and Rescue Dogs also helped with the rescue. By around 8 p.m., the hiker had been found safely and was escorted back to the trailhead.
