Big Bad Elk Ruining Sequim
More Sequim residents are complaining about elk trespassing on their property. One person said she “can smell the elk.” Somebody else described them as “They are like tanks. They leave huge destruction in their wake.”
Since 99% of all residential properties (just guessing at the number) DON’T have herds of elk traipsing through the backyard, maybe these complainers are living in the wrong location. Or maybe they could build fences around their own properties.
Sequim City Councilwoman Susan Lorenzen said farmers could build fences to protect their crops, and they would be reimbursed by the government. I couldn’t tell whether people would be reimbursed for fencing in their yards, or if that only applies to farms.
Somebody else suggested fencing out the developers instead of the elk. If only…

That would have to be one mighty tall fence to keep the elk out.
When I first moved here, people on Bell Hill complained about the elk. Now that Bell Hill and environs have been completely developed and the bypass cuts through their trails, the elk have moved further west.
Maybe PA can adopt the elk herd and move them up to 8th Street!
