Video: Otter shows up at Duwamish River habitat project

You know the otters in West Seattle waters are river otters, even if they’re in saltwater, right? Here’s one of them – by an actual river this time around. Seattle Public Utilities just shared that video, saying it’s from the Slip 4 cleanup site on the Duwamish River. That’s on the eastern shore, 3 miles south of Harbor Island; we covered an event there back in October as the cleanup began. According to the info-page for the cleanup work, habitat restoration should be complete in February.

    Does anyone know a good place, public probably, that you can try to view otters in the Duwamish? Otters are so adorable but i hate always having to go to the aquarium to see them

    Just this week walking around Duwamish Head north of the boat launch I found an otter rolling in the grass, he looked like he was having a ball.

Sorry, comment time is over.
