Michael Zachary Fortenberry, known as Zach or Mikey, was 31 when he was last seen on February 9, 2020, in the vicinity of the Fairfax Bridge near Carbonado, Washington. A Bonney Lake resident, he is described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches tall, about 160 pounds, with blond or strawberry blond hair, blue eyes and black-rimmed glasses. Distinctive tattoos include a boombox on his neck, a monkey on his shoulder and a Yoshi on his hand.

Several days after he disappeared, Michael’s car was found abandoned near the Fairfax Bridge that crosses the Carbon River; the keys were reportedly inside and the vehicle had about half a tank of gas. He was believed to have had his cell phone and vape with him and may have been wearing a black Dickies jacket and possibly slippers. Family describe him as an introvert who enjoyed video games and sometimes struggled with depression and social anxiety, and say it was uncharacteristic for him to be out of contact for so long.

The Bonney Lake Police Department is handling the investigation and the family has urged anyone with information to come forward. Did anyone in the Carbonado or Fairfax Bridge area see Michael around February 9, 2020?
