Washington's Wolf Population Hits Record High at 270 Animals
Published 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
Washington's gray wolf population reached 270 animals across 49 packs by late 2025, marking the highest count since monitoring began in 2008. State biologist Trent Roussin reports a 17.4% increase from 2024, driven by six new or reestablished packs in northeast Washington and the North Cascades. However, no breeding pairs exist in the Southern Cascades region, where human-caused mortality continues to slow recovery efforts. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/gray-wolf-population-in-wa-surges-to-highest-recorded-level/ #GrayWolves #WashingtonWildlife #EndangeredSpecies #WildlifeRecovery #Conservation #WashingtonState #WDFW #WildlifeManagement #Ecology #PacificNorthwest
