Deputies are on the scene looking for a 5-year-old and an adult missing near the Cispus River south of Randle.
“We’ve got really spotty information because there’s no cell service, but it’s possible they went into the river,” Lewis County Sheriff’s Office Cmdr. Steve Aust said.
Aust said he was notified around 7 p.m. Chief Criminal Deputy Gene Seiber is gathering up search and rescue personnel, he said.
Aust said the area is out Forest Service Road 23, possibly within a mile of the Cispus Center.
“It’s not sounding too good, but hopefully they’ll be found, and be just fine,” he said.
Swift water rescue team members out of Toledo were dispatched just after 7 p.m. for a possible drowning.
The Cispus Learning Center is in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, about seven miles outside Randle.
The search is expected to resume in the morning.
