Reader report: Dead seal south of Alki Point

From the WSB inbox, sent earlier today by AlkiMac:

I found a dead full grown harbor seal on Alki’s south beach. It’s near the high tide mark at the Constellation Park & Marine Reserve at Richey Viewpoint. It’s partially decomposed. No telling how it died.

This gives us reason to remind you that there is a hotline to call if you spot a dead or possibly-in-trouble marine mammal — as we learned from Herongrrl‘s comment on this post — 206/526-6733.

    Thank you for your post – my Mom just called me from Alki and she is next to another seal that is beached where they are doing the sewer construction – it is such a shame! Our waters are so polluted!

    The dead ‘seal’ near the sewer contruction on Alki is actually a sea lion.

Sorry, comment time is over.
