The statistics are in: as of December 31, 2023, there are 260 wolves in 42 packs living in Washington, a robust 20% climb from the year before when numbers tallied 216 wolves across 37, according to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.![]()

Despite the growth, confrontations between wolves and domestic animals haven't spiked. A mere 23 confirmed or probable livestock depredations were documented last year. Breaking it down, that's 78% of wolf packs minding their own business and not wreaking havoc on farms, says WDFW Statewide Wolf Specialist Ben Maletzke explained, "These proactive and reactive efforts... have reduced the number of wolf depredations and lethal removal of wolves."
