Everett Herald staff,  please double check the history of the grizzly bear.  I believe that at the time Lewis and Clark traveled west, grizzlies were a plains animal.  It was our push west that drove them into the mountains.  So it is not their natural habitat.  With family in NW Montana, I am very aware how dangerous this animal can be.  Let's make sure the public has a very clear understanding of what they are getting into here if we go forward with this plan.
