The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office dive team was called to Lake Ballinger Sunday night after a 33-year-old man went missing there earlier in the evening.

South County Fire crews arrived at the lake around 8 p.m. Sunday after acquaintances reported that the man had last been seen swimming in the lake an hour earlier. A rescue crew launched a boat and searched for about an hour but were unable to find the man, South County Fire spokeswoman Leslie Hynes said.
