4 Dead In WA Plane Crash

SEATTLE, WA - Four people died when a plane from Seattle crashed into a ravine near Dabob Bay sometime Thursday night, according to state officials. Search crews were able to locate the plane Friday morning using its emergency transmitter.

The plane, a single-engine Cessna, left Boeing Field in Seattle on Thursday night headed to Port Angeles and lost contact with air traffic control around 6:44 p.m. The cause of the crash could take days to determine, officials said.

Crews were still working to recover the bodies, and identities will not be released until family is notified, officials said. WSDOT called the scene of the plane crash "difficult."

Near 11 a.m. Friday, the Seattle TV station KIRO 7 posted images of the debris in the woods near Dabob Bay, which is east of Quilcene.
