Wow. I know about the Hanford wolverine that was killed on a state highway
but didn't know about a wolverine near Granger. Was it a road kill?

Their ability to range widely and show up just about anywhere leads to at
least one question. Why have wolverines not colonized the alpine of the
Olympic Mountains. Not enough long duration snow and ice? I used to think it
was a simple matter of distance and changes occurring over geologic time
scales. But, now, that doesn't make much sense.

Wolverines can be wide ranging. Many years ago, there are two well
documented records in the lower Yakima Valley. One was near Granger and the
other in the Tri-cities area. Excellent documentation on the coast record!
