It's international tiger day, so why not spend the weekend out and about with family and exploring wildlife? No, you won't find a tiger out in the forest of Washington, or we hope not. But you will find them at wildlife preservation and zoos right here in Washington
Washington has at least five terrific zoos and aquariums for families to visit. You can see amazing exotic animals and powerful rescued, endangered, and vulnerable animals living in our protected Washington sanctuaries.
Being a Mayor I get a lot of different requests, some of which I gladly accept. For example, a 4th grade class was assigned a project. They were to write a letter to the Mayor and offer up proposal for a zoo in Yakima.
“Look at those cheeks! They’re so cute I could just eat them.” When grandma says it she only kinda means it. This lioness on the other hand, looks like she’d like nothing more than to smash through the glass and help herself to one heaping plate or adorable, clueless human. You can almost taste the cute.
