We’ve lived in the PNW for just under three years. We’ve managed to get into Seattle multiple times and even over to the Olympic Peninsula. Somehow we haven’t gotten to the zoo. It’s only 30 minutes away. I’ve been wanting to go for AGES. A friend has a membership and is able to bring two guests for free so they brought me. I’m looking forward to getting our own membership cause I think Munchkin is going to love the zoo!
It’s a small zoo but perfect for kids. It was a little crowded but that’s because there were a bunch of school kids there for a field trip, plus it was the 30th birthday weekend of one of the walruses. It was also the first sunny and warm day we’ve had in about a week.
There is a gorgeous view on Mt. Rainier and Puget Sound from the area where you walk into after getting your tickets. If you look in the middle, kinda right above the kid in the red shirt, that white thing is Mt. Rainier.
It was pretty warm and it made some of the animals sleepy. The elephant was snoozing and enjoying his midmorning nap!
The tiger was sleepy too. I wasn’t quite ready for a nap yet but a few hours later I would have loved to be snoozing too!
The thing in the middle that looks like a rock? That’s a walrus swimming around. It was kinda stinky so I didn’t stick around for long.
A cute meerkat. They’re not just cute, their meercute!
One of my favorite birds is a puffin. I think they’re really cute!
This is my new favorite maternity picture. I love Mt. Rainier in the background. I think I look pretty good too. As big as I feel, at least the mountain is bigger!
Sadly they don’t have any giraffes, my favorite but there is a good selection of animals.
What is your favorite animal to see at the zoo?
