We live on Juanita Hill in Kirkland, between Big Finn Hill Park and St Edwards State Park. In 15 years, we've seen bobcats in our yard only twice, but other neighbours report seeing them as well. They're clearly around all the time, just good at not being noticed.

marymoor park and east into sammamish are regular hunting grounds for bobcat. a friend on education hill had a bobcat trip her trail camera in her backyard several times recently... this leads me to believe they are normal background noise in the predator community even though humans rarely see them.

A bobcat was caught on a wildlife camera a few months back in the ravine behind the Ronald McDonald House in NE Seattle, near Children's Hospital.

At today's bird census in the Capehart section of Discovery Park,
volunteers reported what was thought to be evidence of a Bobcat. To my
aging recollection, there have been records of Bobcats in Disco, but likely
decades ago.
Any comments on records of this species in local urban areas would be
appreciated. Have to say that the open space area that this report comes
from has been occupied by quite a diversity of other wild mammals in
recent years. Btw, they saw a Merlin and a Kestrel....
Thanks, David Hutchinson
