Biologists with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) say they captured and lethally removed a bear in the Squak Mountain area near Issaquah on May 20. FOX13
In late April, the WDFW sent out an alert, asking people in the Squak Mountain and Cougar Mountain area to be on the lookout for this bear
The bear was found getting into garbage and eating other human-provided food sources for more than three years. Weighing 352 pounds, the bear was exceptionally large for its age, because of the amount of high calorie food he was eating. A normal weight for this five-year-old bear is 200 pounds. On Tuesday, the WDFW released a statement saying this situation could have been avoided.
People in the Squak Mountain area reported seeing the bear, and the WDFW set up a culvert trap to capture him. A camera was set up, and caught the bear dragging a full garbage bag just before he entered the trap.
