SEATTLE – Who is the Seattle Squirrel Watcher?

What we know:

Squirrel-related flyers popping up around Seattle are going viral online, and FOX 13 Seattle is talking to the “person” behind them.

For the last six months, posters throughout the city have been garnering a lot of attention.

Each of the bulletins has a different message, but the topic is always the same: squirrels.

And each of these flyers are linked to the same Instagram account: “SquirrelWatchingSeattle.”

One pamphlet reads, “Looking for love. I am a single squirrel looking for an eligible lady squirrel.” 

Another flyer asks the community to prank their neighbors by putting acorns under the hoods of their cars.

The handout that has likely gotten the most attention promotes a service where the Squirrel Watcher will come to your house, dressed up as a squirrel, and you can feed them peanuts.

“I’ve seen one at least on every single lamp post down here,” said Jamesen Shoptaw. “I think it’s funny. I wish I could see more of them,” he added.

Most of the people who we spoke to in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood were aware of the Squirrel Watcher flyers, but the message is spreading more than just on the street.

Thousands of people have seen the different posts on Reddit and Instagram, and some have hundreds of comments.

“I feel like it deserves more,” said the Squirrel Watcher.

FOX 13 Seattle directly messaged the person behind the Instagram account to talk about the flyers.

They tell us, since August, they have posted more than 1,000 posters.

Shoptaw tells FOX 13 Seattle he hopes the Squirrel Watcher keeps up their work.

“I was having a hard time last week and seeing them made me laugh. It was really good,” he said.
