The seven teens, ages 15 to 17, escaped from the Echo Glen Children’s Center campus in Snoqualmie just after midnight Sunday, according to the Washington State Department of Children, Youth and Families, which runs the facility.
The King County Sheriff's Office apprehended three of the teens on Sunday afternoon in the city of Burien — about 35 miles west of the center, the agency said on Twitter. Officials later recovered the stolen car, but four of the teens remained missing, officials said.
