YESTERDAY (!!!): Bigfoot knocks (from multiple creatures) near Port Townsend

While walking alone in the afternoon the witness noticed a brief skunk-like odor and then heard repetitive knocking from the woods. The witness tapped a stick on trees in patterns and heard knocks returned in the same numbers, first from one direction and later from two directions. After a much louder wood-on-wood smashing sounded nearby and the other knocks stopped, the witness left the forest quickly without seeing the source.

Man remembers his daylight sighting of a bigfoot standing on a stump next to Discovery Bay

The companions did not see the figure but all later found prints, heard crashing branches, and noticed a faint unusual odor.

Camping group has night time sighting near the Dosewallips River

The witness, then a teenager on a church group camping trip in the mountains, was sleeping apart from the group and watching the peaks. He noticed the jagged horizon looked smooth and swaying, realized it was the silhouette of a large standing animal at the foot of his sleeping bag, smelled a skunk-cabbage odor, hid under his bag, and later found it gone. Around the same time other children by a rock overhang shouted about seeing a big gorilla-like figure moving and walking away, which the adults dismissed.
