The Tide is (Really) High?

We checked the tidal charts--nope, nothing crazy there. Any tsunami warnings for last night after that earthquake in Hawaii? Nada on that front as well.

So we're still trying to unpuzzle how we came to find a starfish--a real formerly-live starfish as in, hey that thing used to scoot around in the ocean--on the husband's car yesterday morning when we left for work.

Any theories, trusted Seattlest readers?
