EATONVILLE, Wash. -- Storms in the past week damaged four miles of fences at the Northwest Trek Wildlife Park near Eatonville, but all the animals are accounted for and safe.

The park says wolf, bear and raptor exhibits were severely damaged by trees falling in the snow, ice and wind storms.

The park is closed so employees can clear trees and branches and repair exhibits and viewing areas.

Northwest Trek hopes to reopen for the Presidents Day weekend, February 18-20 for the "Kids and Critters" event, which brings in thousands of customers.
