Harry Stanely March Jr., known to friends and family as Stan, was 76 when he disappeared while foraging for mushrooms in a familiar wooded area off Sultan Basin Road in Sultan, Washington. He was last seen on October 7, 1997. He left without camping gear or his necessary medications, which suggests he did not plan an extended stay.

A large-scale search by the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office, including volunteers and canine teams, combed the dense, rugged terrain of the Sultan Basin but found no trace of him. There has been no evidence he left the woods and no sign of foul play reported, and the official investigation remains open.

If anyone knew Stan March, his routines, or saw him in the Sultan Basin area around October 7, 1997, please share what might help resolve this long-standing disappearance.
