The Renton Reporter recently ran this interesting story about a beaver knocking out electrical power at the Landing.
I have not seen any photos of the Landing incident, but it reminded me of this previous close call on the east airport access road in 2008. In this earlier case, a power line and a road were both in jeopardy.

Beavers Documentary
If you find this interesting, you should check out the Beaver documentary. These creatures are pretty amazing.
I guess other than humans, no other creature changes the world around themselves more than beavers. I think they can felled about a tree a day.
It’s called “Beavers: The biggest dam movie you ever saw.”
