There is a belief that’s powerful in the Northwest: The belief that Bigfoot exists. While some doubt that such a creature roams the wilderness of Washington, witnesses who have seen, heard and in many cases, smelled a Bigfoot, would tell you differently.

Even one Bellevue psychologist has found himself doubling as Bigfoot expert. Rhettman Mullis told KIRO Radio’s Jason Rantz that he hopes his website, bigfootology.com will help prove Sasquatch’s existence to non-believers.

Mullis is not alone: In these nine Washington counties there have been 20 reports or more of encounters with Sasquatch. These are the places where you’re most likely to encounter the Pacific Northwest’s most elusive creature.
