Avalanche involvements, March 3, 2018 was created by Charlie Hagedorn
From NWAC updated forecast for 3/3:
"There has been an avalanche involvement reported today. Initial reports indicate multiple-burial near Gallaher Head Lake (Kittitas County). "
From King County Sheriff's Office Air Support's Facebook:
"G2 prepping for multiple rescues on multiple avalanches in King and Kittatas county."
Good luck to everyone involved and on their way.
Edit 3:33p: NWAC twitter has a little more: Invalid consumer key/secret in configuration
"There have been multiple avalanche involvements reported today including a multiple-burial near Gallagher Lake (Kittitas County) and another unconfirmed near McClellan Creek (King County). NWAC advises that you limit your exposure to avalanche terrain."

Talked to a SAR guy on our way out from touring around Commonwealth Creek yesterday. I think he said they had been paged about the McClellan incident, but then it was cancelled, i.e. those people got themselves out.
We saw the gigantic helicopter come over the pass when we were at Dru Bru, then saw it again coming in to land at Harborview when we were getting on I-5. Didn't know Hueys were that big.

Thanks, snoqpass -- came to TAY to post the same. I made a separate thread to avoid confusion in the future.
