REPORTING WILDLIFE OBSERVATIONS

Moose Observation Reports
Moose have been increasing in abundance and distribution within Washington for a few decades. Moose are now common and a hunted species in the northeastern portion of the state, but are increasingly observed in other areas of the state as well. We seek your assistance in helping us identify where moose have recently been documented.

Wolf Observation Reports
This website is for submitting a suspected wolf observation to assist the Department in monitoring wolf dispersal and identifying new wolf packs.
