Abstract

In 2022, Moose (Alces alces) were observed on trail cameras on 2 occasions in the southern Washington Cascades. These observations represent the first known reports of Moose south of Interstate-90 in western Washington State and represent a possible range expansion for this species. We suggest that future census efforts include the southern Washington Cascades to document Moose dispersal to new areas of the state. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
