Snohomish County sheriff's investigators were searching rugged terrain today for clues in the deaths of two women whose bodies were found in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest northeast of Everett.
One victim was estimated to be between 40 and 50. The other was a woman in her 20s. Their gear suggests they had planned a day hike on the 1.9 miles long Pinnacle Lake trail, in the popular Mount Pilchuck area, Deputy Rich Niebusch said.
Niebusch did not disclose how the victims died, other than that they had suffered some trauma. He said authorities had ruled out the possibility of a wild animal attack and believe the women were murdered.
"We're approaching this as a homicide investigation until it proves otherwise," Niebusch said. "We haven't ruled out any possibilities." Someone called 911 Tuesday about 2:20 p.m. to report finding the bodies.
