Washington state proclaimed Sasquatch its official state monster: So claims the title of the Interesting Facts article linked here. However, it concludes that ”More recent endeavors, in 2017, attempted to solidify that official status when state Senator Ann Rivers introduced bill SB 5816, calling for Sasquatch to become the state’s official monster. The bill was referred to committee but has yet to be signed into law, which means that for now, the Sasquatch’s official status — much like the creature itself — remains elusive.”
This is just the last attempt in a series of previous efforts to have Sasquatch recognized and protected in Washington State. The wildlife encyclopedia published by the state listed Sasquatch as an elusive cryptid species decades ago. In 1969, the Skamania County emitted a law for the protection of Sasquatch, prohibiting hunting them. In 1970, Governor Daniel J. Evans issued a declaration proclaiming Sasquatch as the State’s monster or cryptid. Hence, this latest effort by Senator Ann Rivers follows in the steps of predecessors.
This is good news, although the title ”monster” is a little odd. But at least, Sasquatch is starting to be recognized officially. There are also other signs of official recognition, such as posts in certain National Parks or forests. This is an example from Wisconsin. Photo by Bryn Rose.

The term “monster” is too negative and implies Big Foot is a dangerous menace that should be feared, ridiculed, and possibly hunted, instead of respected.
