SEATTLE - The Snohomish County sheriff's office says a father and son are the two people killed in a small plane crash on the Cascade foothills in Snohomish County.
SAR volunteers from Everett Mountain Rescue were inserted onto a ridge above the crash site on Sunday and the rappelled into the scene, which was located in steep terrain. They were able to recover the bodies and a Sheriff's Office helicopter was used to bring them out of the site.
The bodies were taken by the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office.
Officials say the father and son are from the town of Deer Park in Eastern Washington. They say family alerted authorities after the duo didn't reach Arlington on time.
FAA spokesman Mike Fergus said the wreckage of the Piper PA 22 was found Saturday.
