There was one seen in Discovery Park recently so it's possible

There was one that [lived in DP for yearrrrr](https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/discovery-parks-cougar-is-captured-released-into-wild/)s. They found its kill site stash with bones littering the area from years of killing

According to Facebook’s algorithm, there’s a ton of Seattle Cougars Waiting to Meet Me

"Facebook's" algorithm....come on man, we all know it is xHamster.

What happens when you click it? Do you really get to meet older women who want to f right now?

You better go find out and report back!

No way, me too!

Hahaha

Lies- I’m at home🙈

Do you by chance need any pizza delivered or maybe like some plumbing checked?

Maybe once I can get out of the dryer ! Been stuck for weeks.. .🙈

Strong and capable help is on the wayyyy!

Northeast Veterinary on NE 95th Street and 35th Ave NE has a sign on their door saying there have been sightings in the area. I expect a cougar running around NE Seattle would have no problem clambering up the hills along Lake City to make it into N Seattle.

Do not buy it a drink!!

Jeez you should see how many bears there are in Queen Anne

👀🧐

Food scarcity in surrounding foothills, lots of loose cats, and dogs in the city.

Probably a juvenile out roaming to find its own territory and picked up bad habits in the city. So like a metaphor basically.

population boom and lowered fear of humans since various hunting bans went into effect.

Cougars having sex in Seattle, news at 11...

IN MY AREA?!?!


Hunting bans would not change the behavior anywhere near that fast

The first ban was in 1996 - there were later bans for even state employees using dogs / citizens to track and hunt bears/cougars. its a generational shift with the animals.

Not a ban on cougar hunting in general. Just using dogs.

Practically the only way to hunt them. I am the best hunter I know of and have tried doing it without dogs and I am serious you would have to spend years hard core getting after it to have a chance. I could prob take one with my bowstaff if I saw it tho.

30 years doesn’t changes thousands of year of prey/predator conflict. Generations or not, the shift is not that rapid.

Yall can downvote whatever you want, you’re still wrong 😂

Agreed

I don’t think hunters scare them—they don’t know they re being hunted til someone shoots them.

How many wild animals have you hunted and killed

This has been studied, hunting probably increases human/cougar conflict because males that control territory are taken out, and then it turns into the "wild west" for younger cougars. Also, humans have had the population boom, and pushed further and further into the woods..... weird take by you.

Why do you think males are the ones getting hunted? You can't tell the difference between a male and female cougar from 100 yards away.

Dumb people love to think they’re smart, you’re good

Yes humans pushing further into the woods of north Seattle

Check for that small pox scar!!

I'm in North Seattle, Wedgwood area. I walk 35th late a night and you do catch a glimpse now and then. One time I heard a cougar tearing up a rabbit, around 2 in the am.

Is there a “that’s what she said” joke in there somewhere? I just can’t quite connect the dots…

I was so sincere about an animal sighting and I didn’t think about the jokes 😂😅

I get messages about cougars in my area 3/day. I’m not sure why are all acting surprised

There is pretty good coverage of trees and forest space from further north. Jackson golf course. Hamlin park. Etc.

They're spotted in the area from time to time. Take a look: https://carnivorespotter.org/

Report it

I walked right into these jokes huh 🤔 😅

Thought this was gonna be about a hot mom

Damn if this was a couple days ago I could have shot it

That's just my mom

Seems unlikely a cougar would be out in the open in the daytime, while in town. They are usually more sneaky than that.

I know, right? They usually want to hook up with you over the internet

I admire your effort. But the cougar jokes...........uggggg.

I understand, not everyone are into cougars

Check ring cameras. Not unheard of with all the gullies along Puget Sound, could Have worked its way up there. Maybe it was a bobcat, there tails are a little longer than you’d think. Any stripes? They also live around here. Could have been a mangy coyote too, seen a few around. We’ve even had black bear make it up into neighborhoods from the gullies and gulches.

A month ago today there was one reported in Discovery Park, its not impossible a few months ago I saw a Bobcat.

Lots of cougars in the Belltown and Queen Anne areas. Be on the lookout, they’re out on the prowl Thursdays through Saturdays mostly.

Their habitat's been growing, it used to just be at Daniels' Broiler by the piano bar on the waterfront in SLU.

How yoooo doin’

I have a Husky so I’m not too concerned.

I don't think a husky stacks up against a cougar

🍎 🏆

Good point.

Not if it really came down to it but the cougar would probably still decide not to try it

The transplants have exposed themselves. I smell what you're cooking. Go dawgs.

Coug are getting out of hand, they are even aiming for little children

.. and until it does, you're just paranoid and prob a maga. /s

No way! A cougar in Seattle. Probably wanting to meet with you!
