Glacier Peak
Missing hiker should be rescued today.
The hiker has been instructed to stay put and rescuers should be able to reach him today, Rochon said. He had food and shelter for the night and was not injured.Update: He has been found and will walk out.
Search teams were hoping Wednesday afternoon that the man would quit moving, Rochon said.
"We can find you if you sit still. We can't find a moving target," he said.
The man, 28, apparently lost his map and was navigating using a compass and a global positioning system. He was believed to be at the 7,000-foot level of the volcanic peak, which stands about 10,500 feet in eastern Snohomish County.
