Dustin Hauanio’s Tragic Lake Chelan Drowning | Seattle News

A 43-year-old man from Snohomish County, Dustin Hauanio, tragically drowned in Lake Chelan on July 4th, with his body finally recovered and identified on Friday after a grueling multi-week search. First spotted by responders on Independence Day, the underwater hunt was complicated by deep waters and required advanced tech like sonar and a remotely operated vehicle. A breakthrough came on July 15th when a Kootenai County sonar team located the body at 250 feet, confirmed by Seattle Police Harbor Patrol on July 17th. The coroner ruled it an accidental drowning — a sobering reminder of water’s hidden dangers and the tireless dedication of search teams who brought closure to his family.
