Michael Edward Smith was last seen in Bellingham, Washington, on April 17, 2016. He was 47 at the time, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, 200 pounds, white, with brown hair and green eyes. Family members dropped him off for an appointment that day and he never returned home; he later missed scheduled appointments and did not make contact.

Smith was described as someone who preferred solitude and avoided crowds. He enjoyed walking beaches and collecting agates; his phone was found at Squalicum Beach, the location tied to his last known movements. The Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office lists the case as 16A10781 and the disappearance remains unresolved.

Few concrete leads have emerged, and the circumstances of his leaving that day are unknown. If anyone saw Michael around Bellingham in April 2016 or has information about his movements, please share what you know.
