Hi, Lydia.

Red Foxes were introduced long ago into western Washington and seem
to have become quite successful and widespread; I saw them in my yard
when I lived in Redmond, and I have seen them at a variety of places
over the years. They all seem to be the classical reddish
individuals, presumably from populations in the East (although I have
also read that European Red Foxes were introduced in some parts of
North America). We also have native Red Foxes in the Cascades, most
of which are of the blackish color morph and really magnificent animals.
