A teenager vanished during a late-night boat outing with friends near Seattle after telling the group he needed to use the restroom, prompting a search for the missing youth. Authorities and family are trying to establish what happened after he was last seen aboard the vessel, with concern mounting the longer he remains unaccounted for.

Details of the incident remain limited, including the teen's exact age, the precise location on the water, and the timeline of when he was reported missing. Search efforts involving local emergency services appear to be under way as investigators try to determine whether he fell overboard or left the boat under other circumstances.
