A Silver Alert is active for Tang, according to the Washington State Patrol Missing Person Alerts notice.
What Washington’s Silver Alert designation means
The Washington State Patrol’s criteria apply to missing people age 60 or older who are in danger because of age, physical or mental health, severe weather, or an inability to return to safety without help. The case must be reported to and investigated by law enforcement, and enough information must be available to help locate the person.
The designation indicates that the case met the state’s alert criteria.
A separate Seattle case offers limited context
In a different Seattle case, MyNorthwest reported on April 21, 2026, that a Silver Alert for a 92-year-old man was canceled after he was found. That report is a dated example of another alert’s outcome, not evidence about Tang’s case or what will happen next.
