A pack of coyotes was spotted in North Seattle this week. MyNorthwest gathered tips on what residents can do when facing the furry animals.
KIRO Newsradio’s Paul Holden captured the above video Monday morning in the Northgate neighborhood near North Seattle Community College.
“It’s about just before six o’clock that I’m leaving here and when I see the bottom of my street, I see not one, not two, but three large, I mean, these are adult coyotes,” Paul said on “The Gee and Ursula Show” on KIRO Newsradio Monday. “These are not small creatures. They are big.”
As Paul was driving down the street, he said the coyotes separated and he saw one easily jump over a barrier into the yard of another house.
“I know my one neighbor’s got small dogs,” he added. “I know there’s cats all along the areas and bunnies everywhere.”
Paul said this wasn’t the first time he saw a coyote in the area.
“There was a coyote just sitting by itself, wailing in a park close by,” he said. “It was such a weird noise because it wasn’t the howling that you’re used to when I actually saw it.”
