WEST SEATTLE COYOTES: Early morning sighting

| Coyotes | West Seattle news | Wildlife

Thanks again for sending your coyote-sighting reports. Got another one this morning, from Steph, who emailed to say, “saw a Coyote this morning on Atlas Pl SW around 6:45 a.m.” That street on the slope between Beach Drive and Seaview is in a greenbelt area, but they can roam far from greenbelts too. Wherever you are, here’s info about coexistence – including encouraging them to keep their distance by not providing food (from pet food to unaccompanied pets), They otherwise will find food such as rodents, small wildlife, and fruit.

I hope the coyotes take care of the rabbits and rats! Wile E., come over to Arbor Heights where there’s a buffet for you!

I live near 100th & 37th in Arbor Heights. My ring camera has shown a coyote visiting my yard 3 nights. One time killing a cat. They are here.

I bet I saw the same one this am in Seaview; walking the dog around 6:30 am we bumped into one on Raymond and 46th and it ventured past the Seaview church and went westbound on Graham where it disappeared. I was surprised by it’s size – easily the same as my 65 lb pup.

Yes, the size surprised me as well.

I have a gap under my back gate, and coyotes have entered my yard and left scat behind on multiple occasions. I live in Seaview not far from the nursery- watch your pets!

Sorry, comment time is over.
