Two Make that three coyote reports in one day, from different parts of the peninsula – read on for details (including the third, sent after we first published this):
This one came in tonight, from Aaron in Sunrise Heights:
Just thought I’d write to let you know that I saw a coyote heading into the bushes that separate my house [7700 block 30th ave SW] and EC Hughes Playground [map].
I thought I’d mention it because there are quite a few young children who frequent the park with their parents, and also the fact that many people use the park as an off-leash area for their dogs.
We’ve had 1 cat go missing and another with 2 large punctures that required surgery in the past 2 months, and I’m now thinking one of these guys could possibly be the culprit.
And this morning, we received this note from someone who didn’t want to be identified:
I just wanted to let you know where I saw a coyote yesterday (and it was my first sighting).
It was at the stop sign on 106th SW and Marine View Drive [map]. It was 1:30 PM on Sunday 10/10/10.
He was coming up out of a private drive just west of Marine View Drive.
(ADDED 11:59 PM) From Sean:
I was just driving north on California and was surprised to see a coyote crossing the street. I never seem to hear about them in this area, so I thought I would report in! This was near the view park where Cali starts to go downhill toward Alki. [Hamilton Viewpoint] He was actually leaving one yard and ran into another rather than going through the park.
By the way, there’s a coyote discussion under way right now in the WSB Forums, if you haven’t seen it already. We always include “coexisting with coyotes” information along with coyote reports, and while participating in the Forums discussion, we found a new one that packages important advice in a simpler point-by-point – you can see it here.
