While a life and death situation played out below Broadway Wednesday, above Broadway in Cal Anderson Park was a much more chill atmosphere. Anybody stressed out by the 13-hour standoff could find some comfort in a fuzzy buddy or three as the Seattle Humane Society came to Capitol Hill’s central park with adoptable pals.
Sponsored by the soon to open development at Broadway and Madison The Danforth, Pets in the Park matched the Seattle Humane MaxMobile Adoption Van with Capitol Hill residents looking for a feline companion.
With a leisurely pace, there had been three matches made when CHS rolled around Wednesday.
Sierra Summers, an artist and resident of Mt. Baker Lofts, has been looking for a new friend ever since her cat recently passed away. “This was close to home,” Summer said.” Easy for me to come get her.” Summers adopted a calico cat currently named Olive.
“I don’t know if I’m going to stick with that name, we’ve got to get to know each other first.”
As the weather warms, Capitol Hill area parks are in full motion. Here are a few more upcoming events from the CHS Calendar — including more fuzzy buddies on First Hill.
