I lived in NE WA and still have property there (working our way back out there). The hubris and ignorance displayed by many wolf management critics often knows no bounds. They are often completely unaware of how range land is priced and managed nor how the wolf management program works.
However, with all the concern expressed for the gray wolf, I have yet to see wolves re-introduced into the many acres of protected greenspace on the west side of the state.
I am sure the western side the Cascades can use more wolves to cut down the deer overpopulation and coyotes.
