Study done on OP shows cougars cut deer vs car interactions by 2/3

No shit. Interesting story though.

The study linked in the article has some interesting data and findings like the fact that deer come out more during daylight in areas where cats live, thus we can see and avoid them, not like back east where deer vs car is often fatal. A detailed study with topics like "Puma effects on ungulate spatio-temporal habitat use"

Does that explain why I've never seen any elk on 101 in Sequim?

Hood Canal Bridge - Watch for closures coming up.

I have the WSDOT app on my phone and noticed more frequent Hood Canal Bridge closures than normal yesterday (8/5).

And, they announced today that there will be intermittent maintenance closures from 9am-3pm starting tomorrow (8/6), but the notice doesn't say for how long.

Closures are definitely typical, but they seem a lot more frequent lately (from someone who uses the Bridge frequently).

So! Be aware and add a little extra time if you're heading east to catch a flight or to a doctor appt.
