• Watch: Wash. Police Drone Helps Officers Track Bobcat Inside Home (officer.com) — A Kirkland home recently had an unexpected visitor when a bobcat slipped in through an open window, apparently attracted by the resident's cat. Kirkland police used a drone to track the animal safely indoors, then worked with state wildlife officers to sedate and release it near Forbes Creek, with no injuries to people, pets, or the bobcat.
