📰 News we're reading
• Washington wolf population hits record high in 2025 (fox13seattle.com) — Washington’s gray wolf population hit a record estimated 270 animals in 2025, a statewide trend that could eventually affect wildlife and livestock across Western Washington communities like Fircrest. Biologists say numbers are booming in northern and eastern regions, but major barriers like I‑90 still limit wolves’ spread into the South Cascades, even as human-caused deaths and livestock conflicts remain relatively low overall.
