Bear Encounter in Whatcom County | Seattle News

A hiker and her dog had a close brush with a black bear near Lake Whatcom, prompting wildlife officials to ramp up patrols in the area after 32 bear sightings this year. Experts advise staying calm, standing tall, waving arms, speaking calmly, and slowly backing away—never running. Make noise while hiking, keep pets leashed, and always have bear spray ready and accessible. This encounter is a stark reminder: humans and bears share these woods—and safety starts with awareness.
