West Seattle coyotes: Morgan Junction, North Delridge sightings

| Coyotes | West Seattle news | Wildlife

Two new coyote reports from the WSB inbox. This one came in late last night, from Derek:

Just a heads up. Out walking my two small dogs at 10:15 this evening and a coyote came trotting towards me down Morgan St and ran across California Ave down towards Fauntleroy. We both startled one another.

And received a few hours before that, from Karrie in North Delridge:

A neighbor on my block (25th Ave. SW between Brandon and Findlay) in Cottage Grove spotted 2 coyotes on our block last night and one on 21st up the hill from us. He sent an e-mail to neighbors on our block to encourage everyone to keep cats indoors.

Haven’t checked out the “coexisting with coyotes” advice lately (which includes tips on how to make sure they keep their distance)? Find it here. Meantime, our archived coyote-sighting reports, newest to oldest, are here.

A good reminder to keep only INDOOR cats! The cats will thank you, as will the birds. Birds suffer greatly from cat depredation! And you’ll probably never forgive yourself if your cat gets killed by a coyote.

Make sure to never let your kids outside ever! Each child will grow up and produce 3 lbs of waste per day, 6 metric tons of carbon per year and destroy a calculated 23.6 acres to provide for all the resources used over that kids life. Keep them inside for life and you may reduce those numbers. That will make the planet happy.
