After making it from Fairmount to Beach Drive on Friday, Westley the West Seattle Deer headed north today. The video above, courtesy of Owen, is from 46th/Massachusetts in North Admiral; that came in after the photo below from 53rd and Andover:
Comments posted today on our Friday story also mentioned Genesee Hill and Schmitz Park sightings.
Recapping our previous coverage – the deer first turned up on Pigeon Point last Sunday night, then headed west into North Delridge on Monday, where it was seen on Nucor property and to the south by Dragonfly Pavilion, near Longfellow Creek. Then on Friday we got word of numerous sightings, some with photos, as reported here.
Unless it is injured or in some other kind of distress, Seattle Animal Shelter says, it is best left alone; a Nucor manager told us he had tried to talk the state Fish and Wildlife Department into coming for it, but they said basically the same thing. Deer are seldom seen in Seattle, and some think this might be the same one seen earlier this fall in Union Bay and then in the Beacon Hill area.
