i live in kirkland in the juanita area and at about 1 am last night is went i went for a short walk. i wasnt really paying any attention until i heard padded footsteps in front of me. i looked up and saw to what i believe to be grey wolves standing right in front of me. i made sure to call fish and wildlife but was told that it was ” highly unlikly” but they would check into it. later in the day i recieved a call from fish and wildlife and was basically told i was crazy and that it was just a coyote.now i know from being raised in monroe and sultan what a coyote looks like and yes they can get big but the animals i came across were definatly NOT coyotes. ive been doing research all day looking at different pictures and figuring out what it was i saw. my conclusion since they were only 10 feet in front of me and i definatly got a close look at them is that they are indeed grey wolves. now since i know these facts and proper people arent actually taking care of this situation i am simply letting the public know.

Given Snohomish’s proximity to Canada, and to Idaho, and considering that wolf populations are exploding, and given the fact that Washington state is “welcoming” wolves, and given wolves’ propensity to travel, I would say it is a definite possibility.

Are there any wolf packs in the snohomish area reported? My small dogs confronted some animals that looked like wolves and were attacked by them. I was less than 20 feet away from them in the home and I saw what looked like wolves, 2 of them. Are there any hybrids in the area? know what a healthy coyote lookes like and these were not coyotes…
