If you're a sea monster looking for exciting employment you should know of this opportunity in Seattle. Our residents are desperate for an unknown aquatic lifeform (sea monster) and this is the perfect chance for you to grow professionally while at the same time building your skills and gaining experience.
You will be responsible for making frequent appearances on local websites and newscasts and must be willing to pose for amatuer photography. Forty years experience as a sea monster in an urban environment is required, and any connection to Native American mythology is a huge plus. C++ and Java are also a plus. Apply by email with attached resume or in person.
Numerous attempts have been made to popularize a sea monster in the Seattle or Puget Sound environs. A few years ago flyers advertising a film about the wholly invented "Willatuk" were plastered around town, although references to the film outside of the promotional website are nearly as elusive as the monster itself, and Seattlest is coming to believe the monster and the film are equally as likely to actually exist.
Reports of giant sturgeon living in Lake Washington are more frequent and plausible, but it appears a new monster may exist. KIRO TV is reporting a caiman is loose in Lake Washington, presumably an escaped pet. Medina police sent out an email Friday warning residents not to approach the animal.

The flyers were out in full force last fall --> ("dept of lost entities and theoretical hoaxes" #)
At least there's a new place for the devoted to post their comments. They flocked to that post like crazy.
They actually did find a giant sturgeon in Lake Washington a while back, I think around 1994. Sucker was 12 feet long, 1,000 pounds and over a hundred years old -- only reason they found it was because he died and floated to the surface where a boat bumped into him. They think he swam into the lake after they dug the canal between the lake and the ocean, but before they put the locks in.
