The King County Sheriff’s Office is still looking for a 15-year-old Sammamish girl who ran away from home Oct. 14.

Alana Deporter is described as a white female standing 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing 115 pounds, according to her profile on the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children website.

She also has hazel eyes and has light brown hair, although when she left home she had dyed pink hair.

County spokeswoman Sgt. Cindi West said Deporter left a note when she left her Sammamish home in mid-October, but West would not divulge more to explain why the teen ran away or where she might have gone.

West said she wouldn’t be surprised if the girl was found soon.

If anyone has information about Deporter’s whereabouts, call 9-1-1, West said.
