I moved back to Washington state almost a year ago and have been active on this forum for a month or two, so I thought I would check if anyone knows about any mystery creature sighting in Wa? Not bigfoot, of course, and I have read quite a bit about lake monsters that supposedly used to be here, which I might put together a post on some time. Also I already know about giant octopi (not that giant) and the giant palouse earthworm (not as scary as the mongolian death worm).

I am looking for reports of thunderbirds, black cats, flying snakes, anything like that that has been reported in my state. Washington is fairly big and has lots of undeveloped land (for the moment) and varied terrain, so there should be some sightings, but maybe it's too cold for a lot of these creatures.

I wait with suspense.

By your title I thought you meant
Washington DC, lots of mystery
creatures there.

Ogopogo, google it.

Ogopogo is in Lake Okanagan here in BC, Canada. Not in Washington

Try Caddy, a serpent that frequents the Pacific coastline.

I live in WA and have heard a few stories by very credible people. Like the husband of my uncles' boss who is an engineer at Boeing (my uncle). But like I said his boss' wife told me some VERY interesting stories. I've always wondered about ogopogo too tho. Especially because I went to college in Ellensburg which is in the eastern washington dessert even tho I live on the west side. But I heard if you drive up north past Wenatchee into B.C, there's still some dessert there. They call it the the "Canadian Pocket Dessert" because it's only like 25 square miles of dessert but it does have cactuses and is the very northern tip of the sonoran dessert. Any of you Cannucks live around Vernon or Verona or whatever the town is that is in that part of the dessert. I've only seen a few pics of cactuses in B.C. but if you have more I wanna see!

I am also in Washington State and have heard of the "Thunderbird". From what I was able to find it is a Native American legend.
The size, of course, varies but usually has a 20-30 foot wingspan. Looks like either a condor or eagle. And it has has a habit of hauling deer sized animal (and humans) into the air with ease.
I will look again into where I got the info and post a link once I find it.

Also I read a (somewhat) recent report of a teenager attacked by one of the Thunderbirds. If I remember correctly the only reason the bird let the kid go was because the person wouldn't stop struggling and the bird lost it's grip (theory from the acticle, I believe). Once again I will try and find some sort of evidence of my memory.
