Coyote noticed in decrease Queen Anne – KIRO 7 Information Seattle

SEATTLE – A woman was walking her dog in the lower Queen Area on Tuesday when she spotted a coyote lying in the grass near a neighbor’s house.

The coyote seen near the corner of 12th Avenue West and Gilman Road seemed to notice and was watching the couple.

According to the Washington Department for Fish and Wildlife, there have been no known coyote attacks on people in Washington since 2006, when two coyotes bit two children in Bellevue.

The WDFW suggests that most coyote conflicts are caused by deliberately or accidentally feeding the coyotes by allowing access to food such as garbage or pet food, which makes coyotes lose their fear of humans and become more aggressive.

Although they are not considered wild animals, a license is required to hunt or catch them. However, if it is a harmful plant or animal, an owner has permission to kill or capture the coyote.
