"I know we have staff in the field today working to find this bear," said Chase Gunnell with Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife ."We have received about 47 tips on possible locations for black bears in the Issaquah area," said Gunnell.

"We have heard reports that he’s in one area, we will follow up with staff, biologists on the ground or traps, and he will disappear and pop up a few months later in a different area," Gunnell.Wildlife officials are asking the public in Issaquah's Squak Mountain and Cougar Mountain neighborhoods to be on the lookout for a large black bear that has well outgrown his research collar.

"This bear has also been utilizing areas close to residences, private property, places where we can’t easily capture the bear," said Gunnell. "We do have one trap out tin the field right now, and those are culvert traps—those are… large, round traps that the bear walks into, and then when he pulls on the bait, there will be a gate that falls down," said Gunnell.
