Question: Which U.S. state declared the Sasquatch endangered and created a refuge?
Answer: In 1969, Washington’s Skamania County adopted a law making it illegal to harm a Sasquatch, a move first thought to be an April Fool’s joke but later confirmed by local officials. The county newspaper stressed its legitimacy at the time, and the ordinance was later amended in 1984 to declare Sasquatches as an endangered species. That version also established a refuge, and years later, Whatcom County in northern Washington created its own Sasquatch protection area.
