Two women who were reported by a witness to have disappeared in the Green River while riding inner tubes Tuesday afternoon near the 14400 block of the Southeast Green Valley Road in Auburn were found safe onshore.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“The women got out on their own,” said John Urquhart, spokesman for the King County Sheriff’s Office, in an email at 4:20 p.m. Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
