As Boise continues to grow houses into the foothills and desert surrounding the city, look for more incidents involving wildlife like Wednesday’s elk chase.
The GUARDIAN editor spotted a deer standing in the middle of Federal Way near The Depot and the Capital-Vista intersection this summer.
In a nutshell, at least 5 elk wandered into the east end of town along Warm Springs Ave. Before it was over, one young bull ended up being chased by city cops along with Fish and Game cops all the way to the bench near Curtis Road and Cassia.
