A Seattle woman and her daughter were shot to death while hiking Tuesday in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.

Officials with the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office said the two women suffered trauma. They declined to release anymore details.

A Dodge Caravan belonging to one of the victims was found parked at a trailhead near Pinnacle Lake, which is several miles off the Mountain Loop Highway.

The hiker who found the bodies dialed 911 around 2:30 p.m., said sheriff's spokesman Rich Niebusch. The women were last seen alive at 10:30 a.m.

Investigators have ruled out murder suicide, Niebusch said.
