I just need to share this story because I can’t stop thinking about it since it happened about 2 months ago.

I live at the end of a small town and our heavily wooded neighborhood consists of large lots that terminate into into the cascade foothills near Issaquah, Washington. So basically just past where we live is the woods for hundreds of miles: the watershed, the foothills/ mountains, raw land and some logging land nearby.

A few months ago I bump into the neighbor and he’s hesitant to tell me this story but he kind of just goes for it and says something like “well I know this sounds crazy but here’s what happened”

He was out in his yard at dusk and looking into the tree line - 50 or so feet away he sees a large Sasquatch. 9or 10 feet tall, broad shoulders, reddish brown hair, slightly gray around the face, long muscular arms.

As it comes into focus and he realizes what he’s seeing it turns with a very smooth and fluid motion and runs off very quickly into the woods in the opposite direction silently. As he recounted the encounter he kept saying things like “ you must think I’m crazy – but I know what I saw”.

He was pretty excited about it and he’s a pretty chill guy normally. I personally believe him as I’ve heard a few other first and second hand accounts the last year or two that share some similarities and he’s a no nonsense guy.

I have to say I’m cool with the idea that this is happening right where I live and knowing the area well I can see it would be a very densely wooded route straight to our neighborhood from the middle of nowhere.

I just had to share. Any other sightings out there near the area?
