Bison herd, eight in number, transformed Washington’s Elma highway into a surreal stampede scene at sunrise—troopers traded ticket books for lassos. “This isn’t Yellowstone,” quipped WSDOT as wranglers answered: Why do bison wander? What’s the protocol for runaway livestock? Trooper Katherine Weatherwax reported, “It was an interesting morning,” as Highway 12 became an impromptu buffalo crossing. No injuries, just perfect bison choreography.

Taking the “Yellowstone on SR 12” spectacle further, the bison’s escape forced troopers into a livestock ballet, rerouting commuters and answering frantic calls. Trending searches ask: How fast can bison run on highways? Who owns escaped bison? The scene: eight shaggy escapees ignore rush hour etiquette, troopers corral them with rancher precision—Washington’s wildest commute, but no horns locked, no fenders dented.

At precisely 6:00 a.m., eight bison commandeered both lanes of SR 12 in Elma, turning the morning rush into a silent, four-hoofed standoff with not a single horn (car or animal) sounded in anger.
