The Seattle Urban Carnivore project is a partnership between Woodland Park Zoo and Seattle University and aims to explore how mammalian carnivores live and interact with people across urban and suburban areas in the Seattle region. The project consists of camera stations placed in parks and natural areas along two transects that span an urbanization gradient throughout the greater Seattle area, as well as some additional off-transect camera locations.

Subproject for camera traps run outside Black Rock Forest in and near the Schunnemunk and Storm King Mountain State Parks.

All cameras were located within a forest (typically hardwood or mixed), with cameras mounted ~0.5 meters above ground facing bait attached ~2 meters above ground via plastic mesh to an adjacent tree ~5 - 8 meters away.
