My Ballard reader Marylinda sent us this note this afternoon:
“Huge coyote in the area. I just followed him up 9th NW between 80th and 85th. He ran into someone’s backyard in the 8300 block… [A resident] said he’d seen it a couple of other times in that area. It’s big and really healthy looking. If it’s out in daylight it must be really fearless.”
Coyotes aren’t rare in our neck of the woods, but if you live in the area, you may consider keeping your cats inside. (Thanks Marylinda!)
