Washington's climate ranges from wet coastal regions to drier inland areas, influencing wildlife behavior across seasons. Spring and summer see increased breeding and foraging, while fall prompts animals to seek shelter and food before winter. Animals may enter homes in Spokane, Bellevue, or Everett seeking warmth or refuge. The housing stock, including many older homes with accessible attics and crawl spaces, provides ample opportunities for wildlife to establish a presence. Common nuisance animals include raccoons, squirrels, and rodents.
