My daughter and I were riding our horses at the neighbors on Monday June 7th and saw a black bear. Location is 50th and 260th Ave NE close to the fire station. The same neighbor allegedly saw a bear last night, June 10, 2010 three houses down on 260th Ave NE and 50th.

We had what we think was a bear push down the 4ft wire fence, bend a 2 inch galvanized metal pole at a 90 degree angle at the ground and destroy our bird feeder on Friday May 22, 2010. This happened in the night. The pole was approx 8ft tall. The animal had to be pretty strong, my husband couldn't even bend the pole back. 47th and 272nd AVE NE on Union Hill Rd near Ames Lake.

  3. Hi,

    (This sighting has not been verified)

    I wanted you to know that my son saw a bear in the Redmond Watershed on May 23. He entered the watershed at the trail located in the Hedges neighborhood.

    The bear took off and ran off, luckily.

  5. Black Bear mama and cubs sighting, July 5. My family and I were driving on Novelty Hill, heading into Redmond. Just past Trilogy Golf Course and on the trail under the power lines, I saw a big black bear with two cubs, near the pile of rocks. We pulled back around to get a closer look since no one believed what I saw so near to the road. They were walking away from Novelty Hill but when the mama saw us, she turned our way. The cubs ran into the bushes so she followed but glad they weren't too close.

  6. A neighbor reported a recent black bear sighting up by Rosa Parks school. The report was anonymous and without photos or address so I cannot verify the report.
