The national broadcast of the chimps’ going onto the hill is still up in the air, but I did receive confirmation from Eric Johnson of KOMO 4 that they will air the story Sunday night at 11:00pm and it will re-air Monday at 6pm. So, for those in the Seattle area, set your DVRs and come to the blog after you watch it to tell us your impressions.

It was a pretty emotional day and we were lucky that the film crews were gracious, understanding and also really excited to witness the chimpanzees taking their first steps onto Young’s Hill.

Here’s a photo of 2/3 of the Young’s Hill clique. Maybe tomorrow someone else will join Burrito, Missy and Jamie in exploring the wide-open part of their home.

    I just shared this on FB and have gotten two “likes” already! Hmmmm…..do you think Jamie will use the tool box to try to start taking down the climbing structures or…..the fence???

    Thanks for the news, Diana! Looking forward to seeing both broadcasts. I think Jamie will use the tool box for anything that might need to be repaired 🙂

    For those of us not in the Seattle area, what network is KOMO 4? Hopefully maybe some of the other network stations in other areas of the country will also air the story.

      Hi Sara,

      Here’s the website … http://www.komonews.com/

      They’re linked to ABC network.

      Most likely the story will be on their website from Sunday onwards (just guessing).

        KOMO 4 will put the story online as well, so you will be able to view it if you are out of the area!

          Thank you Sarah, Margaret and Karen! I have KOMO 4 bookmarked and will pay particular attention to the ABC affiliates in the Washington DC area on Sunday

    That’s right Patti, it’ll be on komonews.com following Sunday night’s show. I just saw a rough cut of the story (I’m the komo photographer) and it’s going to be a good one! What a fun and wonderful day it was!

    So excited to see the story!!! I haven’t seen the whole story, but Tuesday night we drove back to Seattle, and put all the footage in to the computers, and it was amazing and emotional to watch it all happen again.

    Thanks KOMO, Eric, Sara and the staff at the sanctuary for making this a dream come true. Everytime I see the photo’s from outside, tears are on automatic. What a joy for the Cle Elum 7! Thanks to all the volunteers, fund raisers and all that are invloved! I know the Cle Elum love you.

    Great segment last night. The filming was fabulous 🙂 I doubt you care J.B., but I hope they get your name straightened out for tonight’s showing and for the online report – Mr. Goodrich 😉
