Witnesses reported at least two sightings of a cougar in West Olympia Monday morning and police advise residents to keep a close eye on their children and pets, according to KIRO 7 Eyewitness News.

The first sighting was in a brushy area near Cooper Point Road and Mall Loop Drive Eyewitnesses reported another sighting right after this near Cooper Point and Mud Bay Road.

A team from the Department of Fish and Wildlife was called out this morning to attempt to locate the cat, but that search did not produce any results.

Police advise residents to keep a close eye on their kids and pets when they are outdoors and they suggest avoiding wooded areas.

Park users are also advised to use caution around the wooded parts of Yauger Park and Grass Lake Park – particularly on the trails in Grass Lake Park.

Confirmed cougar sightings should be reported to 911 without delay.
