The Washington State Patrol has issued a Silver Alert for Donald Hailstone (who answers to the name ‘Hooker’), a 75-year-old man reported missing in Carnation, with the alert activated on behalf of the King County Sheriff’s Office.
Hailstone was last seen around 8 p.m. on February 12, 2026, in the area of Northeast 80th Street and Tolt River Road Northeast. Authorities say his speech may be difficult for unfamiliar listeners to understand, and investigators have determined his disappearance poses a credible threat to his health and safety.
Hailstone is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing 185 pounds, with gray hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a tan or light brown long-sleeved shirt, tan slacks, a gray and red windbreaker, a red “250th Celebration” ball cap, and brown slip-on shoes.
Anyone who sees him is asked to call 9-1-1. The case number is C26004244, and the King County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency line is 206-296-3311.
Comments
His nickname is Hooker (he is one of the best fisherman I have ever met and a longtime family friend). I’ve never heard him go by anything else to his friends. A Facebook post with the the Silver Alert had a comment that mentioned his family says he will not respond if called Donald.
