WEST SEATTLE WILDLIFE: 3 coyote sightings

Three coyote sightings, two of them just this morning:

LOWER GATEWOOD: The photo and report are from Brian Quinn:

On my morning walk with my dog, and this guy just came sprinting down the middle of the street – Woodside Pl and Othello.

UPPER FAUNTLEROY: Quick glimpse on security video, sent by Robert:

The sighting was around 8 this morning. (Not far from our own one-and-only coyote sighting – 16 years ago.)

SUNRISE HEIGHTS: Merica reported two coyotes seen near 30th/Elmgrove last Saturday night (August 10).

We’ve been reporting coyote sightings for 17 years to encourage awareness, not alarm – we and they can stay a healthy distance from each other, experts say, especially if you avoid providing food (from unattended pets to unsecured garbage) – they have plenty of small wildlife (including rodents) and vegetation to eat otherwise.

    Sunrise Heights – saw one of the coyotes again tonight near 34th and Elmgrove around 9:30 PM.  It crossed 34th multiple times back and forth.

    Brian, does your dad’s name begin with the letter “J”?
