WEST SEATTLE WILDLIFE: 2 coyote sightings

Two quick coyote notes while we work on other stories:

A texter sent that photo today from Camp Long, after seeing the coyote “on the west edge, on the path a little bit north of Schurman Rock.” Earlier this week, we had a note from Gay, reporting, “Wanted to let you know that my wife saw a coyote running down Marshall … about 9:30 am. It was heading south toward the greenbelt at the end of the block. Keep your kitties and small dogs inside.” The official advice on coexisting with coyotes is here, and advises encouraging them to keep their distance by not providing any food source, inadvertently or otherwise, from unattended pets to bowls of their food to thrown-out-but-not-secured human food.

    Coyotes have been in Lincoln Park for an extremely long time, I was saw one on a trail as I was walking my Brittany spaniel over 20 years ago in the morning.

    I think I saw one at 17th & Graham last Thursday. I’ve never seen a coyote in real life, so I’m not positive but I think it was a coyote.

    The coyotes and raccoons have been going at it fiercely.  No decisive wins.  Skirmishes so far.  Please be safe.

Sorry, comment time is over.
