From Spokane Public Radio:
The state says wolves are filling in as expected in Washington, but conservation groups think there should be more.

The latest report by the Department of Fish and Wildlife indicates the wolf population in Washington has increased by at least 5%, to 216 wolves in 37 packs, 26 have successful breeding pairs.
