Wolves will go through terrible habitat dispersing, even dowtown spokane.  I dont buy that there needs to contiguous unending corridors for wolves to migrate, just follow the gps tracks of dispersing wolves
Nor do I.  But if there are prime habitat corridors the spreading will be much faster, more successful and much easier.  Poor habitat corridors the migration and spread will be much slower, less successful and much harder.  This concept fits a lot of what has been observed over the decades with wolf movement.

In corridors like that you find wolf pack establishment leap frogging, establishing right next to the last territory they just left.

They dont jump 300 miles and establish in the methow in a mowed lot with cameras

Ehh...I think you are greatly oversimplifying how animals move and establish territories.  Habitat, prey, competition, disturbance all play a role and its probably much more complex than simple leap frogging in today's world.  That said, if all else is equal, yes I would expect territories to establish in a general sequence.
