Washington State fifth graders secure Sasquatch protection for fourth straight year

For the fourth straight year, a Washington State fifth-grade class has successfully lobbied a county to pass a resolution protecting Sasquatch. The awesome accomplishment was achieved by students from Lincoln Elementary School in the city of Holquiam. The annual endeavor began in 2022 and previously saw the class procure protection for Bigfoot in the state's Grays Harbor, Clallam, and Mason counties.

As in years past, the project saw the students first research the state's beloved cryptid Bigfoot and then craft a resolution wherein they argued for the creature to be protected in a specific county with 2025's target reportedly being Clark County. In this year's proposal, the class cited "legends, sightings, and investigations" that suggest Sasquatch resides in the area. The resolution subsequently expressed concern that, with an observable annual decrease in cryptid reports," there could probably be even less sightings if there is no law set in place in Clark County to protect Bigfoot and keep him safe."

Once again, the project proved to be a success as the Clark County council passed the resolution at a meeting last Tuesday evening. Along with the four counties that have been successfully lobbied by the fifth-grade class over the last few years, two additional counties previously adopted similar Sasquatch decrees in 1969 and 1992. As such, there remain 33 counties in Washington State that have yet to get on the Bigfoot bandwagon, leaving many more locations for future students to lobby, lest someone finally finds Sasquatch, of course.
