The Wildlife of Fireman's Park?
We’re used to seeing feral cats in the parking lot behind Suite133. We’re not used to seeing larger critters like this one …
The deer walked past Old City Hall into Fireman’s Park. We followed from a distance as she crossed all the way through the park and headed toward the front door of Russell Investments. A couple of lunchtime joggers chased her back toward the park. She looked down the onramp of I-705, chose not to go that way, then retraced her steps back toward Old City Hall.
Not something we see every day in downtown Tacoma.

This is so cool! I hope it got back to a forest area safely.

That beautiful deer came saundering down the hill from St. Helens St., walked up Broadway for a block or so, and then disappeared from my view down toward Old City Hall. Multiple deer live in the green strip between Stadium and Shuster Parkway. I see them frequently from my condo on Broadway, especially in the spring before the trees and underbrush get their new growth. They are such gorgeous animals – a feast for the eyes.

Well, I guess no venison enchilada special at the Matador.

Ever since Dave Meconi got rid of Big Buck Hunter from the back game room…

I’d seen one of these critters off to my right as I was using the Sprague Avenue on-ramp shortly before the on-ramp was torn down. Thought I was hallucinating—am feeling much better now….
