Authorities in Snohomish County have issued a public alert for 15-year-old Eulalia Marban Moreno, who was reported missing Monday after leaving her home near the 16700 block of North Road in Bothell. According to a statement posted by the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office on its official Facebook page, she left around 10:50 a.m., boarded a bus, and has not been heard from since.

Deputies say it is not known where she intended to go. Family members expressed concern for her safety and mental health in the information released by the Sheriff’s Office. She was last seen wearing a black puffer coat, light blue baggy pants, and carrying a light gray Jansport backpack.

The disappearance was first reported by MyNorthwest, which cited the same Sheriff’s Office alert.

Although Bothell is more than 100 miles north of Cowlitz County, alerts of this type can have regional implications. Missing youth frequently travel along the I‑5 corridor, and law enforcement agencies across Western Washington routinely coordinate when cases may extend beyond county lines.

Anyone who sees Eulalia or has information on her whereabouts is asked by the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office to call 911.

Why this matters

Major transit routes—including I‑5—create easy north–south movement between Puget Sound and Southwest Washington. When a minor is reported missing under uncertain circumstances, neighboring communities often play a role in helping locate the individual safely. Staying aware of regional alerts helps residents recognize when information may be relevant locally.
