The United States Navy, local law enforcement, and partner agencies have reached the site where an EA-18G Growler crashed east of Mount Rainier.
A map shared by the Yakima County Sheriff's Office shows the general area where a Navy EA-18G Growler crashed east of Mount Rainier on Tuesday, October 15, 2024. The two crew members who were onboard the Growler at the time were still unaccounted for as of 5 p.m. Friday.
On Thursday, a Navy spokesperson said other military personnel were also assisting in the search, including soldiers from the 1st Special Forces Group based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. The Navy said the airborne group “brings specialized mountaineering, high-angle rescue, medical, and technical communication skills necessary to navigate the difficult terrain associated with the Cascade Mountain Range that is inaccessible by other means.
All Growler squadrons are based at NASWI, with the exception of one squadron stationed at the Marine Corps Air Station in Iwakuni, Japan.
