The Renton Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance in locating Kathy M. Chou, 19, who was last seen at 7 p.m. Sunday, April 18, and last heard from at about 9:30 the same night.

The police department supplied the following description.

Chou is an Asian female, approximately 5-foot-7 and 180 pounds. She has black hair with blonde streaks and blue bangs and a piercing in her bottom right lip. She usually wears a pair of pink rimmed glasses, and was last seen wearing blue jeans and a horizontally striped, multicolored shirt. She does not have any physical disabilities.
