Who is posting the squirrel flyers in Seattle?
Squirrel flyers go viral in Seattle
Posters featuring a mysterious squirrel have been popping up throughout Seattle, and the internet has some burning questions.
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.

Delta flight from Seoul to Atlanta diverted to Seattle after report of suspicious package
SEATTLE — Delta Air Lines Flight 188, traveling from Incheon International Airport in South Korea to Atlanta, was diverted to Seattle on Monday morning after a suspicious package was reported on board.
The flight, a regularly scheduled service between Seoul-Incheon and Atlanta, diverted to Seattle around 10: 30 a.m. It was originally supposed to land in Atlanta at 5 p.m.
Delta released a statement that the diversion was initiated after reports of a “suspicious package” onboard, with the flight crew making the decision out of an abundance of caution.
After landing at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the plane was staged at Taxiway Tango on the airfield. Passengers were deplaned to buses while investigators assessed and swept the aircraft, and officials met the plane to conduct additional security screening.
Delta stated that no credible threat was discovered and no arrests were made. After the plane was cleared, passengers were reboarded and cleared to head to the gate and go through Customs.
Delta said it is supporting an investigation involving law enforcement, aviation regulators, and others.
A whimsical world of whiskers, creativity, and community took over Seattle Center this weekend as POP Cats 2026 returned for a celebration of all things feline. The immersive convention turned the Exhibition Hall into a vibrant ‘cat city,’ complete with colorful art installations, interactive exhibits and endless photo ops. From adoptable rescue cats and hands-on workshops to cosplay, shopping, and meetups with fellow cat lovers, the event blended fun with purpose. Attendees could even bring their own cats, making it one of the few conventions where pets are part of the experience. Felines and their human friends embraced a joyful, cat-filled escape and one meow-velous weekend in Seattle. (Image: Elizabeth Crook / Seattle Refined) April 18, 2026{ }
