Federal funds have been cut, leaving the $150,000 bill for fuel and maintenance for their two helicopters up to the Snohomish County Sheriff. Being aware this was eventually coming, they have provided the funding for 2014 but beyond that it's up to the volunteers to bring in as much money via fundraisers as possible, at least until a more permanent solution is available. They conduct approximately 80+ missions a year, including rescue, recovery, evacuation, firefighting, and command and control. The HRT is frequently called upon for mountain rescue in Skagit, Snohomish, and King counties and occasionally even further out. This service does not charge for rescues and/or medical support.
