The Wetlands pages are now located on the Neighbors of Seahurst Park site, clicking the menu items will redirect you there.

This page will list many of the plants and animals that have been seen in Seahurst Park. If you see something that isn't listed on this page please feel free to use the contact address at the bottom of this page to report it. Hopefully we'll be able to add photographs of many of them, either from the Park, or from other sources.

Many of the names are links that will take you to other sites with more information about that item.

Bald Eagles
Great Blue Herons
Owls
Pileated Woodpeckers as well as other types of woodpeckers.
Golden Pheasant, which is native to China, but is easy to breed. Apparently some have escaped. These have been reported in the park for several years. They are likely to be a variation of true Golden Pheasants.

Yes, snakes. Snakes are actually very common in Western Washington and are an important part of the ecology. But they're shy and don't want to be seen, so you are unlikely to spot one. They eat insects, mice, small birds, frogs and more. The ones I've seen in Seahurst Park haven't been big enough to eat much more than insects though. I think they've all been garter snakes, but I'm no expert.

The only dangerous snake in the State of Washington is the Western Rattlesnake, and it doesn't live in Western Washington, so you will not find a dangerous snake in Seahurst Park. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has an excellent page about snakes.

English Holly
English Ivy
English Laurel
Himalayan Blackberry [the native blackberry grows in Seahurst Park too.]
