This past winter/spring has been incredibly wet here - I wonder if that has something to do with the emergence of this slime mold.

It turns out that Grubby the opossum — who hitched a ride to Alaska in a shipping container in March — had babies.

Juvenille crab was found at a salmon set-net site. Is this a Puget Sound species that has now been found on the Alaska Peninsula?
