With all the wild animal activity going on in Seattle these days, this Tweet caught CHS’s attention:

CHS followed up with Eric about what he had seen Thursday afternoon. He described the scene: two Washington Department of Fish And Wildlife officers talking to a man with their ‘cop-business posture at 100%.’

We gave the WDFW a call to find out what game wardens were doing on Broadway. A WDFW spokesperson is going to contact the captain for the area covering Seattle to see if she can tell us more about what the officers were investigating. The spokesperson said WDFW officers sometimes are involved in general law enforcement matters in addition to enforcement of things like fishing laws or investigating wholesalers or restaurants for game violations. She said it was possible that the officers were following up on patrols involving the Spokane Street bridge where there’s been a stepped-up WDFW presence as anglers take advantage of this summer’s plentiful pink salmon run. The spokesperson was not aware of anything in the area on the scale of the recent cougar hunt in Discovery Park.

In the meantime, CHS is glad that a visit by the game wardens to Capitol Hill didn’t involve this. More when we heard back from WDFW
