Ariel Feliciano, an Indigenous girl from the Bellingham area, has been the subject of multiple Missing Indigenous Person Alerts beginning when she was 13 in December 2022. Authorities including the Washington State Patrol and the Lummi Nation Police issued the first alert; it was canceled in early January 2023 when she was located. Over the next three years Ariel was reported missing repeatedly and found each time.

Incidents include a disappearance from Ferndale in early 2024 at age 14 (alert canceled a few days later), a December 2024 alert out of Stevens County when she was 15 after last being seen near Loon Lake in a black hoodie and jeans, and a January 2025 report from Bellingham when she was seen getting into an early 2000s dark blue Honda in the 1700 block of Ellis Street wearing a gray sweatshirt, gray Adidas pants and carrying a camo backpack. By January 2026, at 16, she was again reported missing from the Bellingham area, last seen in a red hoodie and blue ripped jeans.

Each alert mobilized community members and multiple law enforcement agencies. The pattern of repeated disappearances and recoveries points to an ongoing vulnerable situation for Ariel. If anyone has information about where Ariel has been staying or who she spends time with, please share what is known with local authorities.
