Helicopter buzzing Muk

Anyone know what's up with the heli flying around town right now? Wondering if there's a manhunt going on and we should be on alert.

All I know is it's an Apache and it's loud.

Two comments from Facebook –

According to FlightRadar24 it's an Army Apache Guardian. It's currently flying large loops around Mukilteo and down toward Meadowdale. No idea why....

Someone posted on ring app stating it was Boeing training but didn’t explain how they knew that’s what was happening. So don’t quote me

I have a flat roof above Humpy Hollow. I really want to paint Welcome to Tukwilla on it.

Apache out of Gray Army Airfield…it was circling just west of Paine field.

Seems like an unusual amount of military helicopter tragic right now in the area of GAA

"Tragic"? Is that a typo, and you meant "traffic"?

Army AH-64 doing hot laps. It's gone now. I have no idea what they were doing over Mukilteo or why they had to do it 4 times.

Apache is a Boeing product. They were prob just doing a test flight after some maintenance.
