But our cameras have also caught a stray bobcat (twice) and a glimpse of a coyote.<\/p>\n<p>I never expected to catch a pack of coyotes checking out of the yard. We live by the power lines, and there is a large green space behind our home. I assumed wildlife was hanging out there. That\u2019s why our two cats don\u2019t go outside. But a pack of coyotes?<\/p>\n<p>We live in Snohomish County, just east of Mill Creek. Not exactly a wildlife preserve.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just a good reminder that predators can be right outside our doors in the Pacific Northwest.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Sullivan is a traffic reporter for KIRO Newsradio.
