Kent Police and the Washington State Patrol are asking the public to help locate 35-year-old Ashley Watson, a vulnerable adult who has been missing for two weeks.
As we previously reported, Watson was last seen around 9 p.m. on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, leaving her apartment on foot in the 11000 block of SE 252nd Street on Kent’s East Hill.
She is described as 5-foot-7, 230 pounds, with wavy black hair.
She has a tattoo of a snake on her right hand and a rose-and-eye tattoo on her chest.
Watson often carries a stuffed bunny in her shirt.
Police said Watson has mental disabilities and functions cognitively closer to age 8. She is likely off her medications and may become physically agitated or distressed.
“She is likely off of her medications,” police said. “She sometimes acts out physically and has been seen eating rocks when distressed.”
Watson has ties to Puyallup and Milton and has been known to walk along 104th Avenue SE between SE 240th and SE 256th streets.
She does not drive and is unlikely to take a bus alone.
If you’ve seen her, police ask you to call 911 immediately.
