DECEPTION PASS, Wash. —
Matthew Hubner was hiking with friends along a cliff about 7 p.m. when he slipped and fell about 40 feet into the water near the Deception Pass Bridge. MATTHEW HUBNER MEMORIAL FUND Visit any Wells Fargo Bank, and donate to the Matthew Hubner Memorial Fund Officials said he was initially seen floating in the water, but a search by the Coast Guard, the Skagit County sheriff's office and local fire and rescue detachments failed to locate him.
A Coast Guard helicopter resumed searching Saturday about 6 a.m., but at 7:41 a.m. officials "suspended the search pending further developments."
Deception Pass separates Whidbey and Fidalgo islands at the north end of Puget Sound.
A memorial service for Matthew is planned for Friday, May 5th at Oak Harbor Middle School.
