First wolf pack confirmed in Washington State since 1930Isolated wolf packs endangered due to inbreeding: here.July 2008. Two adult wolves located and radio-collared in western Okanogan County are wild, gray wolves, genetic tests have confirmed. One of those animals, an adult male, was later photographed by remote camera in a location where six pups also were photographed. The finding marks the first documented, resident wolf pack in Washington since the 1930s.
“The re-appearance of a resident wolf pack in Washington is evidence of a functioning ecosystem and good news for those working to preserve the state’s biodiversity,” said WDFW Director Jeff Koenings, Ph.D.

The study, published today in the open access journal BMC Ecology, shows that when salmon is available, wolves will reduce deer hunting activity and instead focus on seafood.
