How You Can Help...

On Friday, December 21, 2012, the Owen family was hit by a falling tree while driving on Stevens Pass.  Tim and Cheryl were killed immediately, and Jessie, Jaime and Steven were critically injured.  Jeremy was treated and released from the hospital.  Jessie, Jaime and Steven were airlifted to Harborview where they spent time in the ICU and underwent several surgeries each.  Jessie also spent an additional 2.5 months in inpatient rehab at Harborview. All three (Jessie, Jaime and Steven) have now been transferred to a skilled nursing facility to allow their bodies to heal before they will be transferred back to Harborview for more rehabilitation. Jeremy has returned to college at Eastern Washington University.
