A 10-year-old girl who was reported missing in east Redmond on Monday was found safe when she walked into a downtown Seattle business at about 9:20 p.m. that night.

Store employees at the business near 8th Avenue and Olive Street called the Seattle Police Department after locating the girl. Officers arrived at the business and determined that the girl, Abbey, was the missing youth.

King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) detectives interviewed Abbey and her family Monday night and revealed that Abbey took a bus from Redmond to Seattle on her own, said KCSO Sgt. Stan Seo.

“There was no criminal component to this whatsoever. There was no domestic component. She loves her family, her family loves her. They get along well,” Seo noted and that’s why KCSO didn’t release an Amber Alert.

Abbey’s father called the KCSO to report her missing after conducting his own search starting at about 4 p.m. at their house in east Redmond. KCSO called out search and rescue, tracking dogs and a helicopter to assist in the search.

In Seattle, “She was taken to the West Precinct where she was evaluated and they determined she was unharmed,” said Seo in a press release Tuesday morning. “After the Seattle police notified the Sheriff’s Office that Abbey was safe, our detectives went to Seattle to interview her and account for the time she was missing.”

Seo said Abbey is fine and is back with her family. He added that the next step will be a “discussion with the parents and child” about safety and staying close to home.

“Detectives, deputies, search-and-rescue personnel believe this 10-year-old was very lucky and are relieved we did not have a tragic ending to this dangerous situation,” Seo said.
