West Seattle wildlife watch: Latest coyote pix and sightings

| Coyotes | West Seattle news | Wildlife

We suppose photos like that MIGHT bore us someday when coyotes are in residence at all hours in all front yards, back yards, parking spaces … but that’s probably a ways off. At least a week. Vanessa sent the photos a few days back, saying she’d taken them at 46th/Willow (map) a few weeks earlier (believed to be the same coyote shown here). We’d been looking for a timely excuse to run her pix, and got one this morning when another sighting report came in, this time from Pat in Fauntlee Hills:

Late last night my wife and I saw a coyote trotting down 39th Avenue SW near Henderson St. [map] walking south. A good reminder to keep your pets safe!

The map link above links to Willow and 46th on the other side of town, not the SW side.

I would NOT want my cat to meet this demise, but they are beautiful, I think.

I saw it!! Highland Park Way SW just before 10pm. It was sneaking onto the grass from the street to go behind a house. I would notice those tall ears anywhere! Be careful everyone.
