Wildlife officers investigating 2 possible cougar sightings in Olympia

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Police are trying to confirm two reports of cougar sightings near populated portions of Olympia.

One cougar was reported in a neighborhood near the Watershed Park and the second was spotted on private property.

Heather McPherson, a wildlife biologist, is behind one of those reports to the WDFW. Last week, she said she came face-to-face with a cougar that wasn’t backing down.

“I was just bracing myself to fight back, which you're supposed to do when a cougar attacks. And I was just thinking 'what is the likelihood that this would happen to me while walking my dog.'" McPherson said.

McPherson didn’t back down, either. She screamed, made herself big and drew the attention of a passing car, eventually scaring the cat away.

1. If they want to find cougars,

they should try F.X. McCrory's on a Saturday night.

2. That closed down about a year or two ago.

Or is there still one in Bellevue?

3. They're re-opening their Pioneer Square location soon.

Lots of nice memories...
