The Kitsap County sheriff's office described the unusual occurrence of about 100 raccoons surrounding a woman's home as a first, highlighting their surprising population growth and behavior.
After years of feeding wild raccoons, the woman found herself overwhelmed as aggressive raccoons gathered around her house, prompted by an explosion in their numbers.
Neighbors have voiced concerns about the increasing raccoon presence, with reports of aggressive behaviors leading to scuffles, heightened traffic incidents involving raccoons, and calls for effective intervention.
Kevin McCarty from the sheriff's office noted that the raccoons' unexpected gathering around the woman's property was not only startling but unprecedented, marking a unique wildlife behavior.
