The Snohomish County Sheriff's Office is as asking for the public's help in finding a missing woman.

Chelsea Henderickson was last seen the morning of June 7 in Lynnwood. She may be in the Lynnwood, Everett, or Arlington areas.

She drives a blue 2020 Kia Forte with possible windshield damage and may be in the company of her ex-boyfriend Andrew Klassen who drives a 90s black Dodge Ram with a fifth-wheel travel trailer.

Chelsea is 33 years old, 5' 5", 160 lbs and has black hair and brown eyes. She has a tattoo on her right arm of a tribal medicine wheel with a buffalo skull and feathers, a lily on her left wrist, and an Arapaho on her left arm.

Her family says Chelsea is always in contact with them and works as an advocate for domestic violence, sexual assault, and missing and murdered indigenous women.

Anyone with information on Chelsea's whereabouts is asked to contact Snohomish County Sheriff's Deputy Brianna Perez at 425-315-5642 regarding case # 2022-82952.

Too many days gone without contact w/family or friends. Hoping she is just taking some "me" time away from things, but it seems that she may be with an ex boyfriend. Hoping she's okay, and hoping she will get in touch with her family.

I came here hoping someone had started a thread for her after reading the news and related comments. I’m hoping she is found soon and safely, it’s worrisome that it’s out of character for her not to be in touch.

Search underway for missing Indigenous women advocate

Family, friends and searchers with several local nonprofits including the Yarrow Project, Mother Nation, Missing and Murdered Native Americans, and MMIWP Families canvassed this weekend hoping to find signs of her.



An advocate for the missing becomes the missing. This is very worrying to hear.

It sounds like the June 13 date is more recent.

I hope that means she's okay and is staying away for reasons of her own.

"We want her to come home, come home, be somewhere safe, and never have to experience this again, just come home please," said Janell Hendrickson, Chelsea's sister.

Hendrickson has spent years bringing voice to the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, advocating for efforts to help find them.

“My office is in communication with community advocates to offer support and spread the word," Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson said in a statement. "The rates of violence against Indigenous women and people are unacceptable. We stand with the organizers on the ground.”

Hendrickson was last seen at the Sunridge Motel on June 13.
She is 33 years old, stands 5-foot-5 and has black hair and brown eyes. She drives a blue 2020 Kia Forte with possible windshield damage, or may be with her ex-boyfriend in a 90s-era black Dodge Ram with a fifth wheel travel trailer. They say she was last seen in Lynnwood, but are also searching in Everett and Arlington.

Her family says they are extremely worried for her safety and it is very unlike her to be out of contact with them.

Chelsea Hendrickson, Northern Arapaho and Cup'iq​

Chelsea Hendrickson (Nookhoosei Hisei/Angarar) is an enrolled member of the Northern Arapaho Tribe (Hinono'eino) from Ethete, Wyoming and a shareholder of the Calista Corporation of the Cup'iq people from Mekoryuk, Alaska (Nuniwarmiut). Chelsea was born in Seattle, Washington, and has been raised, back and forth, between Washington and her Tribal communities her whole life. She graduated from James A. Garfield High School in 2007 and has most recently lived in Tukwila for the last six years. Prior to that she was living and working in Riverton, Wyoming.

Her Grandmother is Lillian Amos (Coouxceneihii Hisei) of Ethete, Wyoming. Lillian is Northern Arapaho and Gros Ventre. Lillian's parents were Orlo Amos (kookuteeneiht) and Mary Hendricks. Chelsea was gifted her Hinono'eitiit (Northern Arapaho) name by her grandfather Felix Returns To War Sr. Her Hinono'eitiit name is Nookhoosei Hisei which translates to Sweet Sage Woman.

Chelsea's Grandfather is Phillip Hendrickson Sr. (Dachilkar) of Mekoryuk, Alaska. Phillip's parents are Kay Hendrickson Sr. (Qiawgar) and Bernice Hendrickson (Jukuq). Chelsea was gifted her Cup’iq name by her "Uppa" Dachilkar. Her Cup’iq name is Angarar. This is a common Cup’iq name and has been passed down in her family. It was her grandmother's name. Chelsea knows that she has big Mukluqs and Moccasins to fill - both sides of her family were keepers of ceremony, language, culture, and stories. She descends from master mask carvers, authors, board directors, and quillwork matriarchs.

Chelsea works full-time as a Program Coordinator for the Pathways to Healing Program at Cowlitz Tribal Health in Tukwila. She has worked there for two years. Chelsea has focused her work on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW). She has created a workshop that she uses to educate her community about the injustices Indigenous women face every day. As a survivor of DV/SA and a family member of a murdered Indigenous woman, she uses her platform to bring awareness to these issues. Chelsea is very grateful to work for the Cowlitz Indian Tribe and learn more about Coast Salish cultures. Although, she misses her maternal homelands, she knows the invaluable knowledge she is gaining by working for the tribe will help her pursue her lifelong goals.

She also works part-time as a Youth Advocate at Labateyah Youth Home in Ballard. She has worked there for five years. She understands what it means to be a homeless youth and does her best to inspire and uplift the residents at the youth home in what ways she can. She is inspired by United Indians of All Tribes’ history and the American Indian Women's Service League.

Chelsea is currently pursuing an Associate of Arts Degree from South Seattle College with hopes of eventually getting a Bachelor’s in Social and Human Services. Chelsea hopes to one day serve her own Tribal communities in a leadership position, whether that is running for her Tribal Council in Wyoming or serving on the Board of Directors for the Calista Corporation.
