For the second night in a row another black bear was spotted up in Everett. Last night he was spotted strolling along Madison near I-5, while the previous night the bear was on a mission--we think a serious case of the munchies--spying (and lurking) around a gas station at Beverly and Broadway. Once again the bears outwitted the police and their canine team. So we can only assume, if it's not fame they're after, the black bears must have heard about the Copper River salmon and want to get in on some of that action. Yup, we will go with that, until someone else has anything better to report. more ›
