The coyote frequently spotted in Volunteer Park is dead.
Federal wildlife officials shot and killed the sick animal Friday as it wandered around Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.
Neighbors started calling a few days ago to report the coyote, which seemed sick. It was having trouble walking and losing fur, said Carol Bannerman with the USDA Wildlife Services.
Bannerman said wildlife officials were concerned it could behave aggressively and agreed the best option was to find and “remove” the coyote.
