Volunteer member units bring loved ones home. King County SAR makes sure they can.
When someone is lost or in need, King County Search and Rescue volunteer member units answer the call—24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Help ensure our rescuers remain fully equipped, trained, and mission-ready for every emergency.
While King County SAR envisions a permanent headquarters to anchor regional rescue operations, sustained operational funding provides the vital foundation our volunteer teams rely on today—funding advanced technical gear, rigorous field training, and life-saving equipment—giving us the stability to build our future home tomorrow.
Join us during this Giving Season to raise $125,000 for sustained operational funding by December 31, 2026. Your generosity will make sure King County Search and Rescue volunteers are ready.
Search & Rescue is 100% FREE in King County. Your Donation Funds the Mission.
These critical operations are provided at absolutely no cost to the communities served or the subjects rescued. We never charge for our services, which means King County Search and Rescue relies entirely on the generosity of supporters like you to advocate for our units and keep our teams fully resourced and ready to deploy.
