ISSAQUAH, Wash. — As it nears mating season in June and July, Issaquah residents got a reminder on Monday that they live in “bear country” when a bear was spotted just off the West Tiger 3 trail.
The bear did not approach the hiker but certainly looked curious to the human who was filming it on their phone.
