OLYMPIA, Wash. —

The search base for a missing plane has moved from Arlington to the Olympia Airport.

The state Aviation Division says tips from witnesses and radar readings indicate the pilot may have landed Saturday in Westport and taken off again.

The search for the plane and the 51-year-old pilot, Gordon Last of Snohomish County, is now focused between Westport and Shelton. State, Civil Air Patrol and volunteer pilots are searching Wednesday, as weather permits.

Last's plane departed Saturday from Harvey Field at Snohomish. He was expected to return that afternoon and was reported overdue by his girlfriend.

The Lake Roesiger man left no flight plan. The 63-year-old Taylorcraft Taildragger carried no locator beacon.
