Can't Miss It: Thursday
We don't have the full story on this, but just from looking at the photo, we can tell we're dealing with the aftermath of a fierce battle, the likes of which we haven't seen since Godzilla vs. Mothra. How the children defeated the Kraken giant squid as it opened its beak to devour Alki is unexplained. Maybe it's a Witch Mountain thing? Or maybe it was just a lucky poke with a stick. Whatevs. Today we're breathing easier thanks to these amazing tots, and Seattlest would like to be first in line to say thank you.
UPDATE: Less fantastic--in so many ways--story on the demon squid at West Seattle Blog. More factual, if you go for that sort of thing.

The child looks like a two headed siamese beast not seen in Clash of the Titans or on my Clash of the Titans commemorative belt that I enjoy wearing and flaunting.
Thanks two-headed little kid!
Judging from the apparent length of this large squid and the apparent width of its mantle, I would say this squid is the Clubhook squid whose species name is Moroteuthis robusta. The Clubhook squid is found in the ocean around Seattle and in Puget Sound. The humboldt squid whose species name is Dosidicus gigas would have a wider mantle than the squid in the image.
This is the kind of comment that redeems the comment section from its reputation as purely a sass-pit. Thanks, nautilusoceanic!
