From the heart 342 words The Web of Life Living in the Northwest, we are fortunate to encounter wildlife in our everyday lives. Seagulls fly alongside our ferries.
Raccoons walk our backyard alleys.
Deer look up in surprise as we round a bend on a hiking trail and hawks peer at us from light poles above the freeway. Occasionally, bears prowl suburban parking lots and coyotes crouch in downtown elevators. Long ago, humans lived side by side with wild animals but our interactions were more than just passing observations of each other. We were directly and obviously interdependent with the other animals. Some days we were predator.
