The wreckage was found on a mountainside east of Mount Rainier, the Navy said. The status of the plane's two crew members was still unknown.

Searchers spotted the wreckage of the plane, but not the crew, Wednesday afternoon amid bad weather and remote terrain.

The U.S. Navy confirmed they found the wreckage of an EA-18G Growler around 12:30 p.m. on a mountainside east of Mt. Rainier. The jet, which took off from Oak Harbor, crashed during a routine training flight on Tuesday at 3:23 p.m.
