The Seattle Times, which is Washington state’s largest and longest-running newspaper, has still not covered the story.
Shadeed is an immigration lawyer working in D.C., who graduated from an Ivy League and grew up in Queens, New York.
Seattle Police informed the family that Shadeed’s Airbnb history showed he had been traveling along the West Coast and had also visited Forks, Washington and Los Angeles before he left all of his electronics behind, according to Dalton’s post. He was driving a white Volkswagen Tiguan with District of Columbia plates.

Shadeed had quit his job at immigration law firm Grossman Young & Hammond but was still licensed to practice in the Maryland and D.C. area, Dalton told USA Today.
The reasons he quit has not been established, but there are fears in Seattle that some harm may have befallen the astute lawyer.
Concerns, that Mr Shadeed appears to have left his laptop behind, despite the fact he is writing a book, has alarmed his friends and family, who have put up a missing persons post on Instagram.
Whispers of kidnap are already circulating in Seattle,
Is his disappearance linked to one of the immigration cases he dealt with, or are there some other unknown associations connected to his fate? Could he have been embroiled in a business or partnership dispute of any kind?
Seattle Police contacted the family on Aug. 8 to formally declare Shadeed missing. The family has filed a missing persons report and are working with a detective, according to the post.
They are asking for as much information as possible.
Shadeed is of African American and Lebanese descent with brown eyes and dark brown hair. He is 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 150 pounds.
He also has a couple of tattoos, including a dragon on his right calf, a Roman column on the inside of his arm and a portrait of his mother on his shoulder.
His friends say his disappearance is out of character.
