King County residents are on edge as bear attacks are on the rise – including a bear devouring goat inside a residential property in Bellevue.

There’s a surge in black bears causing problems in King County, according to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife . Several latest incidents involved bears attacking – or trying to attack – backyard animals in the Bridle Trails area in Bellevue. WDFW says there are at least three black bears in the neighborhood.

But a resident in the Bridle Trails neighborhood tells KIRO7 a black bear also tried to attack his backyard goats this week. Greg Mohr is a therapist and was holding sessions at home Wednesday, when a black bear interrupted. “I take off up the hill, these guys are screaming past me and the bear is running down the hill,” Mohr described. He said the bear had climbed over a fence and was headed straight for his five goats.
