Spotted: Goats at McMenamins Elks Property

Spotted yesterday: a herd of goats getting some work done on the vacant lot adjacent to the McMenamins Elks building. Apparently they will be there all week, clearing the overgrown lot. They've got their work cut out for them.

Stop by and watch them work. Maybe ask them if they've heard any rumors about the project...

Thanks to Jimmy Camandona of Party Tacoma for sharing his pictures.

They also do this annually during the summer term at PLU. It is definitely an effective way to clear a lot. Excited to see what develops with this project.

Tacoma Goats Twitter application? See where the city goats are today! Which vacant lot? Along I-705? West of UWT? Along I-5? Tacoma Avenue? Ruston Way hillside? Come to Tacoma and see them! All the foot traffic of the Convention Center, at 1/3000 of the price!

  I believe they live out on Vashon. I think this is the company: http://www.rentaruminant.com/
