In 2020, the pack grew to a minimum of five wolves with a confirmed breeding pair. The 2021 annual survey counted a minimum of six wolves in the pack.
In February 2022, WA118M dispersed from the Sullivan Creek pack territory and was last tracked northwest of Kelowna, British Columbia, before a collar failure. At the end of the year, there were five wolves confirmed in the pack.
The Strawberry Pack continued to grow in 2023 with seven wolves confirmed in the pack, then in 2024 with eight wolves and a breeding pair confirmed.

In January 2025, one wolf was captured and collared in the Strawberry Pack by WDFW biologists.
