Moose historically wre never very prevelent in WA outside the Selkirk and Blue mountains. The population has been steadily growing and expanding since the 50s, including moose moving into the North Cascades.
I remember about 10 years ago, my friend went solo deer hunting for the first time outside Winthrop. A game warden talked to him as he was driving out fur the and asked if he saw anything. He said no buck, but I saw a huge moose walk by. The game warden said there weren't any moose in the area, and he must be mistaken, until he saw the photo my friend took, and "well holy shit, you just shut me the hell up"
