After hourslong search, crews unable to find person in manmade Everett tunnel KOMO News Staff Replay Video UP NEXT EVERETT, Wash. - Crews reopened an Interstate 5 off-ramp in Everett that had been closed Thursday for several hours while emergency crews looked for a person said to have been possibly trapped in a manmade tunnel under the roadway. After a search that lasted about seven hours, crews from the Everett Fire Department reached the end of the 45-foot tunnel and determined that no one was inside it. The Washington Department of Transportation is now working to fill the tunnel in. Everett officers and emergency personnel responded to the scene, the northbound I-5 exit ramp to Maple Street and Pacific Avenue, at around 8 a.m. Thursday after receiving reports about a manmade hole and a possible tunnel collapse.

After removing dirt from the tunnel, authorities determined there was nobody trapped inside. Authorities told KIRO 7 they believe the tunnel had been built and used by a homeless man in the area. The man’s friends said he had been routinely hiding in the tunnel for at least two years. “He got to where it was far enough and deep enough that he felt safe and he went down in there. Like a mouse,” said Eric Day.
