Meet Syaʔyaʔ (SEE-yut-yuh)! 🐾

Our newest resident, a rescued marten, just found her forever, loving home at Northwest Trek. 💚Her name means “friend” in Lushootseed, honoring the Coast Salish people who’ve long cared for the land since time immemorial.

We asked our veterinarians to provide an "inside" look at some of our animals and their not-so-spooky skeletons. 💀

Rescued Moose Luna is soaking up the golden fall sunshine while swimming in the lake. Moose are natural swimmers and enjoy snacking on aquatic plants. A perfect way to spend a crisp autumn day! 🫎🍂
They truly do it all, from prepping for procedures and monitoring vitals to helping animals participate in their own care, giving therapies, supporting staff, and juggling endless behind-the-scenes tasks. Thank you and happy #NationalVeterinaryTechnicianWeek! 🩺🐾 2/2
We’re celebrating our amazing vet tech Tracy and keeper/vet tech Deanna for everything they do to keep our animals healthy and thriving!#NationalVeterinaryTechnicianWeek 1/2

Elk rut season is still going strong! 🦌 Bugles, battles, and a whole lot of swagger. Catch the action (and those antlers) before it’s over!
Bobcat enrichment time! 🐾 Rescued bobcats, Tahoma and Tanner, got a special treat, pinecones covered in mountain goat fur! These natural scents encourage rolling, rubbing, and scent marking, a purrfect way for bobcats to show off their wild side. 😻

Sienna and Sullivan, our rescued cougar cubs, are getting bolder (and a bit bigger!) every day. It’s amazing to see how far they’ve come. 🐾
Fall fun with Benton and Fern! 🍂

Our black bears are celebrating the season with one of their favorite fall festivities, bobbing for apples! 🍎 This enrichment helps keep their minds active and their paws busy, while giving them a tasty snack and a splash of fall fun. 🐻
Boo! 👻 Marigold chewed through her pumpkin to say hi. Our Pumpkin Chomp & Stomp event continues tomorrow! 🎃

🎃 Our grizzly brothers, Huckleberry and Hawthorne, are diving into pumpkin fun—crunching, smashing, and rolling these treats around for a beary good enrichment. Watch them smash and eat pumpkin treats this weekend during our Pumpkin Chomp & Stomp event. 🐻
Our bison herd is ready for some serious crunching this weekend at our Pumpkin Chomp & Stomp event! Watch these giants go to town on pumpkins and get into the fall spirit with us. 🎃
🎃 One-minute pumpkin chomp break with beaver pals Chip & Hudson! 🦫 Crunch, munch, repeat.
Sound up for bull bison grumbles! 🦬
The rut is ON at Northwest Trek! 🦌 Our massive bull elk are in full display mode, bugling to declare their dominance, sparring with rivals, and even decorating their antlers with vegetation to impress the herd. This dramatic season only comes once a year!
Our animals are going wild for the AL West champs! 🎉 Go @mariners.com! ⚾️

The elk rut is in full swing! 🔥 Watch as two bull elk clash with their massive antlers, while the lead bull bugles in the background, keeping a watchful eye on the female herd. Nature’s drama is on full display at Northwest Trek!

Our rescued cougar cubs, Sienna and Sullivan, are getting braver every day! 🐾 Lately, they’ve been perfecting their tree-climbing skills in their habitat. It’s incredible to watch them leap, balance, and explore from new heights. 🌲

🦊 Happy #NationalFoxDay! 🦊

Meet our red foxes, rescued as pups in Idaho back in 2013. Born that April, they were given a safe, caring forever home here at Northwest Trek.

Twelve years later, they’re still delighting guests with their playful personalities and foxy charm. 🧡
