A beaver was spotted at the Ballard Locks on Tuesday.
Leslie Rome shared the below video of the beaver, which she said she spotted on the Magnolia side of the locks near the fish ladder.
Beavers are fairly common near Ballard—last year, another reader sent us a video of a beaver cruising down the sidewalk at the locks. That said, usually they’re spotted around Golden Gardens.
If you want to see beavers in the wild, check out the beaver ponds at Golden Gardens, the creek systems in Carkeek Park, or the Promontory Ponds at Magnuson Park.
Thanks Leslie for sharing the photo and video!
