ISSAQUAH, Wash. — The City of Issaquah says recent reports of black bear activity are a reminder to take action to avoid coming across the animal. 'Issaquah is bear country. Throughout the Pacific Northwest, spring and summer are bear season,' the city said on its website . It shared new video of a bear spotted roaming around on Wednesday. It shows the bear running along a sidewalk in the Issaquah Highlands before cutting in front of traffic, and then disappearing out of sight. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has tips to avoid bear encounters such as securing garbage cans and pet food, which can attract a hungry animal.
