Nine-Year-Old Wants to Make Bigfoot State’s Official Cryptid (goes to Crosscut, more at the link):

If any place can claim to be the official home to Bigfoot, it’s Washington state.

That’s why Sen. Ann Rivers, R-La Center, promises to keep trying to make Sasquatch the official state “cryptid” — a critter whose existence has not been sufficiently proven by mainstream science.

The bill was the brainchild of 9-year-old Caleb Davis, who believes in Bigfoot. A lifelong student of Sasquatch along with his dad, he wrote to Rivers, asking her to make Bigfoot the official Washington state cryptid.

Senator Rivers’s bill died in committee, but she intends to revive it in the next legislative session.
