Attention, Alki area: Anyone seen the Joy D. Smith Wildlife Raft?

We’ve featured it before – and it’s disappeared before, too – this time, Guy Smith hopes once more that someone’s found his family’s raft/buoy, missing from just east of Alki Point:

The big winds and waves last Saturday were too much for our buoy. A few days later it was gone and the Joy D. Smith wildlife raft went with it. We’re hoping someone will spot them and let us know at 206-937-8742.

You can see the raft in this WSB story.

    There is a raft floating off the Northern side of the Fauntleroy ferry. I have no idea if this is the same raft.

    To kim,
    I checked it out and that isn’t ours. But thanks for the tip.

    Yesterday at low tide (late afternoon), just directly off 56th and alki in the rocks was something that now looks like what you are describing.. I did take the binoculars and look, but it seemed smaller..anyway I will keep an eye out today.

    We’re so glad the raft has been found. We really have missed it,and hope it comes back soon. Bet the seals and cormorants will be happy, too!

Sorry, comment time is over.
