For the first time, Seal Sitters will have an outreach presence at the very popular Ballard SeafoodFest taking place a week from today, Saturday, July 9th from 11am-9pm and Sunday, July 10th from 11am-7pm. This annual festival has upwards of 50,000 visitors during the two-day event. Now that Seal Sitters responds to beaches stretching from West Seattle to just north of Everett (except the city beaches of Edmonds), this event provides an amazing opportunity to educate the public about marine mammals who come ashore on Puget Sound beaches, including Ballard’s Golden Gardens, Discovery Park, Carkeek, Richmond Beach and other beaches to the north.

We hope you’ll stop by, say hi and pick up some educational materials. Thanks to an in-kind grant from the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods, Seal Sitters has some great new outreach materials for events.
