I live outside of the park on the northeast corner and just a couple of weeks ago was pulling out of my driveway with a friend. The coyote leisurely walked right past her vehicle - within a few feet - and into the neighbor's yard. It stood behind a widely spaced wood slatted fence staring at us for a while after we pulled up next to it. It then stepped leisurely back out onto the road and slowly made it's way up the street via my yard, etc. My roommate and his friend even came out to see it and that didn't seem to phase it.

He sure seems comfortable in the outlying neiborhoods. I no longer leave my dog outside alone and frankly am worried for the many kids that play on our dead-end street all of the time.

I'm not for killing animals, but I definitely think a relocation is in order.

Perhaps they could tranquilize it and move it to another location. It is not the animal's fault that it is this situation. We have too few of these lovely animals left due to development and it is the fault of the humans who want to destroy the coyote that it does not have the wild space it needs to live and thrive.

Relocate or leave it be. Its a coyote, being a coyote. Of course its aggressive toward humans and animals - its a predator. Its doing what it does. We need to stop killing animals because they are doing what they normally do. We especially need to rethink our tendency to want to live in the wilderness (Discovery Park) but not expect wild animals acting like wild animals. Its not a domesticated animal - so its gonna see a house cat as a good dinner.

Why is a lone coyote in Discovery Park a news story? There's a whole family of coyotes that live on the Bellevue Muni Golf Course. I should know, a chain link fence separates my backyard from the golf course & once or twice a month the whole pack starts howling.

WOW! i've never been that close to a coyote before!
