Cougar spotted in Seattle's Magnolia neighborhood

SEATTLE — Cougars are something few people will ever see in person. Known for their strength and agility, they’re rarely seen in the wild.

But despite their notorious stealth, a cougar was spotted Friday evening in Seattle.

“At that moment he poked his head out, and that’s when I saw it was a big cat,” says Rebeca Rambal. She says she was walking along the trail at Lawton Park in Seattle’s Magnolia neighborhood when it happened. The area is close to apartments and a school.

Friday is not the first time a cougar has been spotted in this Seattle neighborhood. Back in 1981 and 2009, two cougars in Magnolia were captured.

in Magnolia almost every day and I would be willing to bet that the cats are coming from there where there are a large population of rabbits. Lawton Park is very near Discovery park which is very big maybe even huge. Beautiful place to watch the ferries and other ships go by from the bluff or down by the sound. Make sure you make it to the lighthouse down by the Sound.

i can give you a rout to walk almost exactly 5 miles never seeing the same trail twice. OK maybe an over the shoulder look but very short lived.

Definitely a place to see In Seattle

Loved Seattle for the 35 years I was there.
