An Auburn man plummeted to his death off Rattlesnake Ridge on March 9 in what so far appears to be an accident.

Another hiker saw the 32-year-old man near the ledge. When the hiker looked back again, the man was gone. The hiker saw the man’s body laying 300 feet below.

He hiked down to find the man had died, and then called 911. Sheriff’s deputies responded.

A team of about 30 search and rescue responders helped carry the man’s body out. Rattlesnake Ridge is just east of Tiger Mountain and south of Snoqualmie.
