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.
