Seattle, WALocal News

Community members in Everett, Washington, rallied in a "Honk and Wave" event to support the search for Jonathan Hoang, a 21-year-old autistic man missing for over 120 days. His family, supported by national organizations like the Gabby Petito Foundation, remains determined to find him. "We need help finding Jonathan, and we can’t do it by ourselves," stated his father, Thao Hoang. The family last had a credible sighting of Jonathan on home security footage in Kirkland, raising concerns about his safety. They believe he may have been coerced or taken from their home, increasing the urgency of their search.

A $100,000 reward is being offered for any information leading to his discovery. The rally emphasized community unity and the importance of public awareness in locating vulnerable individuals. With over 120 days since his disappearance, the family's hope remains strong, as they continue to seek answers.
