Video shows rescuers treating injured hiker who fell 50 feet on Washington mountain
An emergency crew rescued an injured hiker who fell 50 feet from the summit of a mountain in Washington state on Saturday, video shows.
The footage, released by local law enforcement, captured the challenging search and rescue operation as members of the King County Sheriff Air Support team scanned the vast wilderness surrounding Mount Si by helicopter. Located about 35 miles east of Seattle, the mountain’s popular hiking trail ascends more than 3,000 feet over the course of just a handful of miles, according to the Washington Trails Association.
At the summit of Mount Si is Haystack Rock, where the hiker fell and may have suffered a head injury, law enforcement said. Cloud cover originally prevented rescuers from reaching him, in addition to wind and snow as the elevation climbed to 4,100 feet.
“Once we had a break in the weather, we successfully rescued him and flew him to Harborview,” the air support team said in a statement. Harborview Medical Center is a hospital in Seattle.
Video shows the rescue team hovering above the mountain while thick clouds obscured the view of the landscape below. Eventually, several crew members descended downward from the helicopter on ropes, retrieved the hiker and hoisted him back up.
More than 100,000 people hike Mount Si every year, the Washington Trails Association says, noting that the trail covers 8 miles roundtrip and includes an elevation gain of 3,150 feet.
The organization describes the trail as “a kind of sweet spot for experienced and novice hikers alike,” because it’s difficulty level provides “enough of a test for bragging rights” without being “so tough as to scare people away.” Experienced climbers often hike the mountain with weighted packs in early spring, as they prepare to climb Washington’s tallest peak at Mount Rainier, it says, noting that “switchbacks and climbing begin almost as soon as you leave the trailhead.”

WASHINGTON (Gray DC) – The House Budget Committee advanced a $95 billion legislative package Thursday, known as “Reconciliation 3.0,” as Republicans move to use the special budget process for a third time to bypass the Senate filibuster. The bill faces unified Democratic opposition and resistance from some members of the GOP.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is working hard to garner support. “It’s our best shot at enacting our party’s top priority legislation, the SAVE America Act,” he said.
The bill would direct funding to the Pentagon amid the Iran War, provide farm aid, and advance portions of the SAVE America Act — President Donald Trump’s top legislative priority. He called on the public to pressure lawmakers to act during an address to the nation Thursday night.
“I ask you to pick up your phone tomorrow, call your representatives in the House and Senate, and demand that they pass the Save America Act without delay,” he said.
The package includes $10 billion to incentivize states to implement stricter voter ID laws — a scaled-back version of a provision that would have mandated photo identification nationwide. The bill does not include major spending cuts. Some Republicans are also raising eyebrows because the bill doesn’t tackle the high cost of living, a key voter concern in a tough midterms year.
Senate Democrats are pushing back on the use of reconciliation for a third consecutive time.
“I am opposed to in general appropriating through reconciliation,” Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) said. “It is a shortcut that only benefits the party in control. And quite honestly, it is not appropriate in this instance.”
The budget resolution is set to go to the House floor. Johnson has said he intends to pass the package before the August recess, which is set to begin July 23.
