A grassroots search party is being organized to look for popular retired Anacortes High School counselor Keith Anderson, who has been missing for a week. And, a candlelight vigil is planned for Wednesday night. Brian Geer, the local Red Cross director, is organizing a search party to look for Anderson and his pickup truck. In a Facebook posting , Geer said, "The goal will be to drive the shoulders and check side roads, restaurant parking lots and park and rides." He's asking volunteers to meet at Penguin Coffee at 8:30 Saturday morning. Other friends of Anderson are organizing a candlelight vigil for 6 pm Wednesday night (Jan. 13) at Causland Park. Anderson left Anacortes on January 6 to meet an acquaintance in the Arlington area driving a white 1999 Ford Ranger pickup, Wash. license plate B0811F. The truck is described as a standard cab pickup with a matching white canopy. The Anacortes Police Department has issued a statewide notice to be on the lookout for Anderson's truck. The missing person's report indicates Anderson has a history of medical problems, including high blood pressure and depression. He apparently left without medications.
