Incident #1001371
Snohomish, Snohomish Cty, Washington
May 1996
Account
Ron St. Martin driving north on Hwy 2 about a mile North of Snohomish, saw "drunk" shufflying around a "park and ride" area. It "dropped down" and ran across the road very close in front of the car. About 6 ft. tall, 3 ft. wide and 2 ft. thick, covered with 2 to 3-inch wavy brown hair. Took 4 or 5 foot leaps. This seems to indicate it ran on all fours "looking like a gorilla".
