The Seattle PI is reporting a female black bear and her two cubs were spotted foraging for food at an apartment complex in Issaquah and on a trail near the high school.

Video recorded using a witness’s cell phone shows the bears nosing around a dumpster, and later in the day, KOMO-TV’s cameras caught the same bears crossing a well-used bike trail behind Issaquah High School.

Due to the close proximity to humans, especially children, residents in the area are concerned about safety. Because the bears have not attacked anybody and hunting season is in a few days, wildlife experts are not planning to relocate the bears.
