King County sheriff’s detectives want your help in identifying a man whose skeletal remains were found on Mt. Si, near North Bend.

Two off-trail hikers came across the bones last year near the “haystack” on Mt. Si. Police say the evidence suggests the remains may be from the mid-90s.

The Medical Examiner’s office determined that the remains are that of a white man, 30 to 60 years old, who was likely 5 feet 7 inches to 6 feet tall.

A pair of tortoise shell glasses, a Swiss Army watch, and an Ortovox shovel were found with the remains.

A sketch has been created that reflects what experts believe the man looked like before his death.
