It is very dangerous. I live in the woods and mountain lions have been spotted and so have bear. Also, most people just get lost or hurt themselves on the terrain and never found. I would not hike in the area unless you are familiar with it.

But mountain lions and bears don't attack people in the PNW. This isn't Alaska.

It’s getting more common as they get hungrier due to impacts on habitat.

I have lived in Eastern Washington my whole life, bears most likely won’t but a mountain lion will. I have know two people where I lived that have died from them. Granted that is not a lot but they are seen almost every couple months or so. Not all of Eastern Washington is the same.

Most missing folks just disappear, never to be found?

I’ve only heard of a few over the last couple years but I seem to recall them being found.
