Wildlife Sightings in Sammamish: Bear, Bobcat in the 'Hood
We have a video from YouTube of a recent bear sighting, and we've heard of an area bobcat sighting as well. Share yours in photos or video and let us know where you saw them.
We got a note yesterday afternoon from Sammamish resident Julie Schuster:
Bobcat sighting:
Allen Lake 244th & SE 3rd Place, sighting on other side of bridge from NE 8th: Mama Bobcat and junior were spotted in our yard yesterday at 8:00am! We have seen her before, but it has been a couple of years. Mama aprox 45-50 pounds junior aprox 20 pounds! (like a big cat) It was probably the same babes as we had in our yard a couple years ago.
