SEATTLE — Washington State Ferries (WSF) says crews found a raccoon stuck inside a dumpster at the Seattle ferry terminal on Wednesday.
WSF teams and a Washington State Patrol Sergeant helped to make an improvised ladder, allowing the raccoon to climb out and escape.
Video posted to X shows the masked bandit climbing down the dumpster and heading back to freedom.
