So, here in Alaska we have to deal with angry moose and bears, and crazy hawks.. what sort of wild life do you guys in Washington have to deal with? i'll be down there at the end of july and was thinking about taking my bike and hitting some trails.. but If I have to deal with crazy animals Im not sure its worth my time haha!

I've only seen rabbits and elk. I expect there are some bears, depending on where you go. Possibly cougars. If you're OK in Alaska, I am sure you'll be OK here.

It's a pretty tame wildlife scene compared to Alaska. Often deer, occasionally elk, very rarely a bobcat, (black) bear, or cougar. Haven't been dived at by an owl or hawk although I suppose it's possible. I've had angry momma grouse tell me off, lol....
The worst thing you might run into would probably be a random tweaker.

Saw a bear up close at Tiger Mtn once, other than that just some squirrels usually.

Taylor Mountain- Black Bear. One lives near the trails.
Tiger Mountain- Bobcat, Cougar, deer.
Tapeworm area- Mink, grouse, deer, coyotes, cougar, red fox and a month or so ago I was out doing trail work and came across a bull Elk. That one scared the crap out of me due to the size. You dont see Elk in the lowlands often anymore.
