Search and Rescue in Skagit County

Search and Rescue in Skagit County The teams of Skagit Search & Rescue seek to preserve life and health through training, search and rescue techniques and proactive education.

Our page is here to help provide information about the search and rescue teams in Skagit County. For over 50 years, Skagit search and rescue teams have served Skagit County as an integral and irreplaceable component of the community. Search and rescue missions are performed under the direction of the Skagit County Sheriff’s Office with minimal cost to the public. Most members must provide their ow

n transportation and all of their own personal gear. In addition to joint training sessions, personnel undergo intensive training in search operations and rescue procedures as well as wilderness survival and first aid. The teams of Skagit search & rescue rely heavily on donations made by the general public to purchase the needed equipment and to attend professional training. To make a donation we encourage you to contact the desired team directly! None of the teams solicit donations via phone or contract with any organization to do so on their behalf. If you receive a phone call from any organization claiming to do so, please get details of who is calling, from where and what they are doing, then pass that information along to us so we can attempt to stop the fraudulent efforts that are being made in the name of Search and Rescue. If you need to contact one of the teams, our page would be happy to put you in contact directly with them.
