I've seen a mother with 2 babies coming into Idaho from Yellowstone in Wyoming.

You are way more likely to see an Orca in Washington than a moose. Even if you spend all your time in the forest.

NW Trek near Eatonville has moose that roam the park. They have trams that you can ride to get a closer view of them.

I second the other comment. North east Washington is your best bet

You're probably not going to a wild moose on purpose anywhere in WA. The further northeast you go, the better chance you'll have of possibly getting a glimpse. Keep going into Idaho and Montana to increase your chances. I've seen the most in Idaho between Moscow and Sandpoint.

Yeah. I remember hearing Port Angeles was without power while I away doing my job for the day. Then one my my friends sister posted the local news article about the seagull causing it. But if a seagull can cause a city to lose power, then well… we’re fucked if anything else causes it.

Yeah I saw one in Alberta years ago but my wife doesn’t want to go that far! Her moose dedication does not cross international borders

You wouldn't even need a lot of guns to cause a big problem either.
Wall Street Journal - U.S. Risks National Blackout From Small-Scale Attack
FTA:
A small number of the country's substations play an outsize role in keeping power flowing across large regions. The FERC analysis indicates that knocking out nine of those key substations could plunge the country into darkness for weeks, if not months.

Reply to Found some Washington spoons amongst a collection of ~55 old spoons. Can you read the date on the back, is that 5/28/43? (Gallery in reply) by Nixx_Mazda
My grandma has those exact same spoons. I wonder how collecting mini spoons became a thing.

I lived in western Washington for 23 years without ever seeing a moose.
The woodland park Zoo in Seattle has some elk and deer, but moose are not terribly common in the greater Seattle area.

Eastern Washington, specifically NE corner around Spokane/CDA. Occasionally they show up in the Palouse but that's pretty rare, the couple I saw around Pullman seemed lost and had the look of "how tf did I end up in the middle of a wheat field"
Super unlikely to see one in Western WA, I think the one spotted around Rainier recently was the first sighting ever recorded in that area so unless you literally find that one it's probably not happening.
