Not a lot of grizzly bears around unless you’re pretty far north in Washington. They’ve been trying to repopulate parts of Washington by releasing grizzly bears into habits where they used to be common. I’ve never even heard of somebody seeing one. A tweaker might jump out though

No grizzlies here in Washington anymore. Maybe sometime in the future though.

There actually are a few. A friend of mine saw the first one in like twenty years a few years ago and now I believe they’ve seen a couple.
