There are wolverines on the Olympic Peninsula currently. My family has property on Eaglemount near Discovery Bay. I saw one last spring, it crossed the road in front of my truck, it stopped and challenged the my truck, showed it's teeth at me. I called WDFW and reported it, they told me that there had been another report for East Jefferson county a couple months before. Since then there have been two additional sightings within 2 miles of my sighting. The most recent sighting was a different animal. (blondish brown, with white chest patch).
WDFW told me they suspect it swam accross the strait from Vancouver island. The one I saw was mostly black, with a rusty red tail and longer redish hair on he sides. I got a good look at it, as it jumped up on a stump once it got on the other side of the road And looked at me 15 seconds. Thought about plugging it with the 22 mag as I figured nobody would believe me. Truely a buitiful animal, no fear of my vehicle.
It looked to be approximately 40 to 45 inches from nose to end of tail, about 16 inches tall and bowlegged, round ears, black eyes, a face between a bear and dog. Very stout, maybe 40 pounds.
Tried getting some game camera picks of it with no luck, I had 3 camera traps with dead meat hanging from trees, only got coons.
