Pebbles spent yet another day lounging on our shore. True to form, he hauls out early in the morning, rests all day and hauls back out early evening. Today he returned to the water about 5:30, as a heavy drizzle soaked our volunteers. He’s a regular celebrity in West Seattle and residents and commuters have been checking in on him each day. At left, Dan Campau of Seattle Parks Department helps establish a barricade early this morning.

Pebbles is still a chubby and alert little pup. Standing watch over a seal pup while the Seattle skyline looms before you, drives home the reality that our urban environment creates major challenges (and responsibilities) for the survival of these smallest of marine mammals. This is why it is so critical to share the shore with our wildlife.
