WA WA "Angel” Alleacya Boulia, last seen 17 Nov 2025 in Port Angeles, car found 30 Nov 2025 at Sol Duc Trailhead, Olympic National Park

Here is the travel route including ferry information that one would normally take from Marysville or points north of SeaTac in general to the Peninsula. Hopefully the family and LE can check with the Kingston terminal regarding any cctv video. Obviously, she likely would have traveled that way but was she traveling with anyone else? (such as someone she met on her trip perhaps needing a ride?) https://www.rome2rio.com/map/Marysville/Olympic-National-Park#r/Line-202-bus-ferry-bus

I moved to Portland, Oregon when I was 19 in 2008 after living a vagrant lifestyle for several years. I had some street smarts from my time hitchhiking, etc. but I was still a young woman with a naive romanticism about life on the road. I spent months living in a tent or a car when I first arrived in the PNW. Luckily, I met with friends I’d known from home town to live this lifestyle with when I got there and we could look out for each other.

When my life stabilized in my mid 20’s, I spent a lot of time volunteering with legitimate organizations that provided assistance to the homeless population in Portland. Among other things, I spent many weekends providing first-aid and wound care at a clinic set up in a church downtown. I enjoyed my time there but my interactions with some of my patients showed me how lucky I was to emerge from my earlier homelessness unscathed. There are some truly ill people who seem extremely friendly and kind until a flip switches and they are not. The most terrifying things anyone has ever said to me have been from patients there that were very warm and kind for awhile. Sometimes weeks.

Before this, I lived in flop/punk houses where trainhoppers would often stay. They were also cool until they were not. This by no means is meant to be a sweeping generalization of the entire homeless population of the U.S. but I have spent years of my life intimately familiar with this population as first a peer and later a healthcare provider: there are predators on the streets who only know how to survive by victimizing and taking advantage of naive, good natured people (mostly young women). They can tell when you’re new to the streets. They can tell that you are alone. They can mask for as long as they have to.

That said - “helping the homeless,” “really getting to know them,” and buying sandwiches for people I just met when I had a few bucks to spare is *so me* when I was in my late teens and early 20’s. Even though we only have tiny scraps of insight into the few days before Angel went missing and only a couple sentences about her interactions with the homeless population, I feel like I’m transported to my 19 year old self and can deeply relate.

Anyway, sorry for the long windedness of this post but here are a few of my educated guesses on where she might be/the circumstances.

- Quality Inns and Best Westerns can be pretty seedy. I’ve never been to those exact locations in Port Angeles or Seattle but I’ve certainly spent time in those areas. She may have met travelers there and decided to join forces to explore together.
- Walmarts/grocery stores in the PNW are where a lot of younger transient people spange (ask for money). If I were my younger self and on the road again and some younger spangers that seemed cool/fun to party with/interesting approached me outside of a store, I would have (and actually have many times) bought them food and probably beers and hung out with them. Maybe they suggested a camping spot they knew about and they all went camping together. Again, I do not know Angel but this is an exact scenario that I have lived and seems likely.
- I can’t remember and don’t want to lose what I’ve written so far but is she alone on the store video? She may have met people at the campsite and decided to camp with them and left on her own to get supplies and food for all of them.

Is there footage from inside the Walmart?

Hope this isn’t too disjointed, I just woke up. I hope Angel is located safe soon and is just having a great adventure.

Thanks for sharing, very valuable information pertinent to this case!! Ultimately, the best scenerio is - Angel met up with some folks she clicked with, and is exploring a new lifestyle. If so, I hope she contacts her very worried Mom soon.

April also found it strange that the Walmart receipt included several duplicate items. “She had two ponchos, she had two safety glasses, two pairs of heated gloves,” she said. “She had a large pair of pants, a small pair of pants. She had two double XL boxer shorts. Three pairs of boots in the car. It’s just a lot of strange things.”

April said she is holding out hope that her daughter is still alive, though she knows Alleacya would never go this long without reaching out. “She would never just disappear and not let me know she’s OK,” she said. “I don’t believe that she can come home — whether someone has her or killed her.”

Is there footage from inside the Walmart?

Thanks for this. This is why I steer clear of street people. When I was a teenager one lunged out of a dark alley in Belltown Seattle and grabbed me. I fought him off and ran.

They’re on the street because something is *wrong* and out of desperation, greed, substance abuse, wanting feel power, or just for perverse fun, a “nice person” may attack out of nowhere. Some may be cool and a 6’4” muscular man might feel safe hanging out with them, but, as a woman by myself, it’s not my job to try to sort out who’s safe and who isn’t. Homeless women have extremely high rates of being beaten and/or sexually assaulted by other street people. The best way to help is through professional organizations trained to deal with their circumstances.

“Is there footage from inside the Walmart?”

There should be. Like Target they have a very sophisticated camera system with facial recognition and the ability to zoom in close. I think they hold onto footage for a while, they definitely are able to remember people.

Imo safety glasses stand out as a thing you'd buy for a specific task, unlike ponchos and heated gloves which would be generally useful. Did they go with the pool supplies, perhaps in anticipation of using dangerous chemicals, or was there something else planned that would require eye protection?

I don’t like the tone of this. I live in Seattle and encounter unhoused people all the time. I also volunteer at a family shelter. Many people are not homeless because there is something “wrong” with them. And, for the record, I’ve never been attacked, harassed, chased, etc by any unhoused person in my decades here.

It seems very weird to me that she went to Arlington/Marysville prior to the park. Those towns are ~40 minutes north of Seattle (the park is ~3 hours southwest of Seattle) and there's really nothing going on up there unless you're visiting a specific person/people. Very sleepy suburban-to-rural area.

I don’t appreciate my being grabbed and having to fight off an attack being dismissed. I stand by what I said and how I said it based on my own experiences and experiences of my family and friends and neighbors. I’ve lived in the PNW/Seattle my entire life. That you’ve never been harassed by a street person doesn’t mean others haven’t. I feel for the people who were already on the financial edge and got laid off and have no resources, I hope they can get help and I want my tax dollars to go toward helping people get back on their feet. However, there have been some recent unprovoked attacks by street people that were very violent including an elderly woman getting struck in the head by a bat with a screw bolted in it and being blinded in one eye, and the sexual assault of a 5-year-old girl. Staff at the King County Courthouse are quitting because of safety problems at a nearby homeless camp.

I hope Angel didn’t end up in trouble at the hands of someone she wanted to help but the possibility cannot be ruled out.

It looks like she either met someone who was traveling with her, or she bought all of those things to help someone. But she was for sure with someone at some point, because it doesn't make sense to buy doubles of everything and male boxers in a 2XL if it's just her.
