"The raccoons seem to have started to run away as they are no longer being fed, and we are happy about that.", — said a representative of the department, Bridget Meer.

The Department of Fish and Wildlife said that residents of Washington often encounter raccoons because they are attracted to garbage and food left by people.

"As long as raccoons are kept as far away from human habitations as possible, not cornered or treated like pets, they are not a threat.", — the department explained.
