West Seattle raccoon rescued: West Seattle Blog reports that an unmasked man named Patrick Abdo saved a masked animal from a big jam. Abdo says that on Tuesday he discovered a baby raccoon’s legs stuck in his fence. Abdo heard the kit’s (a baby raccoon is called a kit!) anguished cries for help, loosened the screws in his fenceโunder the watchful eyes of the kit’s momโand the young animal was able to escape.
Laurelhurst residents fear deer: Meanwhile, in Laurelhurst, a deer was sighted by a number of neighborhood residents, who predictably fawned over it. (Rimshot.) Residents called the Department of Fish and Wildlife, which reminded those residents that deer like greenbelts.
Canine catches suspect: An SPD canine unit pursued and successfully apprehended a robbery suspect on foot after the suspect allegedly broke windows on two Fremont homes. Fremont Universe reminds residents to be nice to dogs because “they might be undercover.”

A racoon came in through the cat door in the basement and up into the house last night. The nerve!
if he’d killed the baby racoon it would not have been a tragedy. what’s next, setting rats free?
There’s a joke in there somewhere about masked bandits and fences (as in the people, not the object), but eh, someone else can write it.
Is it embarrassing to misspell embarrassing in a headline?
