Coming soon: Grizzly bears in the North Cascades

Grizzly bears will be reintroduced to North Cascades National Park, federal officials announced Thursday.

Wildlife biologists plan to airlift three to seven bears each summer into the rugged wilderness northeast of Seattle from healthy populations in Montana, Wyoming, and British Columbia. The goal is to build an initial population of 25 bears after a decade, growing to 200 bears by the end of the century.
