The King County Sheriff’s Office is looking for four juveniles after seven escaped from the Echo Glen Children’s Center in Snoqualmie on Sunday.
Earlier this evening, three of the seven escaped juveniles were caught in Burien and are in custody.
The Washington State Department of Youth and Families said just after midnight on Sunday, the youth assaulted a staff member working the night shift during routine checks, and stole her personal belongings, including the keys to her car. Echo Glen staff contacted law enforcement. The campus was secured, and all other youths on the campus were accounted for.
The DCYF said a Juvenile Rehabilitation Critical Incident Response Team , comprised of people from outside facility management will be conducting a thorough review of the incident. “Echo Glen has enhanced its safety protocols, will assess whether protocols were followed, and will assess the need for changes based on this incident alongside the CIRT,” said the DCYF.
Earlier this afternoon three of the seven escaped juveniles were caught in the city of Burien and are in custody. The investigation continues in the search for the other four.
