Did you know there was a Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization? Their careful work (“Q: Are there bigfoots in Europe? A: Not in modern times, but they existed there at least until the Middle Ages.”) is a large part of why Estately is declaring Washington state the best place for Bigfoot residency.
We lead the nation in “credible sightings” of sasquatches: 537.
“Heavily forested and with the fifth most designated wilderness acreage in the country, Washington State provides exceptional habitat and a Bigfoot-positive culture,” notes Estately. While it may be true that at least 24 people have taken a potshot at something hirsute in the underbrush, Skamania County, for instance — where sightings continue to this day — forbids the killing of Bigfoots (aka “Sasquatch,” “Yeti,” “Giant hairy ape”).
California is second, with Oregon getting demerits for having a Bigfoot trap. The worst place for Bigoot to live, speculates Estately, is probably Florida. People there already had itchy fingers for sasquatches before the stand your ground law, so it’s likely that any accidental encounter will be fatal.
You may be surprised to learn that thermal imaging is all the rage among today’s Bigfoot cognoscenti, since the creature’s nocturnal habits make it difficult to spot with traditional methods. An Idaho anthropologist is reportedly using drones with this capability to sweep the Cascades. Once again, with Seattle’s drone ban, Washington provides a safe haven.
Estately also lists the 17 best U.S. cities for dogs; there Seattle comes in at #3.
