I've seen a few gray wolves in the northwest and they can look similar. Especially some colored and markings that could be on a coyote. What usually gives them away is their size. About twice to three times the size of a coyote.
Never seen wolf from our parts (but now I'm interested) but I've seen a good 40lb-45lb coyote, maybe 50lbs or slightly more even. Fresh and dead on roadside at entrance of neighborhood so I saw him first day. This was not far from Mcd square. I was surprised at the size of the coyote.
And ya, I've heard of some wolves 3X that size. Only ever seen pictures but it made camping in the mountains entertaining! Between them and the bears and cougars, you really had to be aware.
