The Olympic Project 'nests'
A Washington-based amateur research group, the Olympic Project, reported a cluster of large woven 'nests' of branches on the Olympic Peninsula and brought in primatologists to examine them.

The account
The group says the visiting specialists judged the structures to have been made by a primate. The Olympic Project also gathers footprint casts and DNA samples as part of a long-term field effort typical of modern Bigfoot research, which mixes citizen science, trail cameras and podcasts.
The sceptical view
Bent and stacked branches arise from storms, snow load and human activity, including other enthusiasts. No primate DNA or remains have been tied to the sites.
