Victim in deadly SeaTac I-5 crash identified as 72-year-old Kent woman

by Scott SchaeferMarch 17, 2026March 17, 2026

The King County Medical Examiner’s Office on Monday, Mar. 16 identified the woman who died in a three-vehicle crash on I-5 in SeaTac early Sunday as Nadezhda S. Gorbachenko, a 72-year-old Kent resident.

According to the medical examiner, Gorbachenko died after suffering multiple blunt force injuries in a collision on southbound I-5 near milepost 152 in SeaTac.

As The SeaTac Blog previously reported, the tragic, fatal crash shut down southbound I-5 near South 200th Street in SeaTac for more than four hours. It is being investigated by the Washington State Patrol.

Emergency crews responded to the scene and the freeway was closed while investigators worked the crash site before lanes reopened later that morning.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation by the Washington State Patrol.

Everyone at South King Media extends our deepest sympathies to all who knew and loved Nadezhda.
