The Kirkland Police Department (KPD) is seeking the public’s assistance in locating a missing vulnerable adult, 66-year-old David Harger from Kirkland. David left his Kirkland residence, located in the Kingsgate area at NE 144 PL and 129th PL NE, at approximately 12 p.m. yesterday, August 21, and has not returned.

David Harger is described as 5’11” tall, about 180lbs, with brown hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a dark red t-shirt, dark colored knit pants, and black Velcro shoes. When last seen, David had around his neck a black pouch that contains necessary medication. David requires consistent medical care.  Without this care he is prone to falling, disorientation, and or confusion. He does know his name and will respond to “Dave” if called. His medical needs increase the urgency to locate him.    

The Kirkland Police Department has been working with King County Search and Rescue in an attempt to find David, which has included the use of an unmanned aerial system and teams canvassing the area. David does not have access to a car but could have accessed the King County Metro bus system. David has been entered into Washington State’s database as a missing person with a “Silver Alert.”

Kirkland Police are asking anyone who may have information that could assist in locating David Harger to contact Kirkland Police 425-577-5656. If you see David in the community, please contact the local police department, or 9-1-1, so police can help reunite him with his family.
