1) Last Fall, Seattle times had a pretty clear pic of a griz. They said a hiker took it "in the north central cascades" if I recall correctly. Sahale Arm of NCNP to be exact2) 12-15 years ago, there was confirmed griz (sow and cub) on Kapowsin tree farm deep into sough Pierce county around base of Mt. rainier. WDFW confirmed by scat and hair sample and tracks. I have a friend who is a PhD Grade Wildlife Biologist for the USFS. He has stated that they have suspected that there were Griz in the Cascades for over twenty years, but have had difficulty getting DNA evidence. This could have happened prior to DNA testing becoming very accurate and relatively cheap3) Multiple unconfirmed griz sightings north of Cle elem (liberty area). I have one trusted friend who swears he saw a griz there. I believe him.My friend has heard about these, and believes them highly plausible. They think most griz are north of the White River (Chelan Co), north and NE thru Glacier Peak Wilderness, NCNP and the PaysaytenAny of those would be a do-able walk for a bear to get to South King county.YepI have no inside info on their actual range, but I guess I wouldn't have any real reason to dispute the map.Seems like a good map
I guess after thinking about it for a while the green river water shed could be very possible place. Still just seems like most of the small number of grizz would be passing in/out from Idaho and Canada.

You'd think that maybe with all the trail cams out there, somebady would eventually catch a griz??
BTW does anybody want "Recovery Zone" to become official? As in no more access, Recover Zone..
