Account
Wendy Meisner said that when she was in grade 6, living at Bonney Lake (south end of Lake Tapps) about 30 years earlier, for five days running, in cold weather in the fall, a sasquatch appeared across the lake. Many residents of the apartment came out to watch. All it did was stand there and the only noise was "asthmatic" breathing. Not clear whether the apartment was across the lake from the town, or the across the lake from the sasquatch.
