Not too surprising to me. Beavers live anywhere there's habitat. Check out

Meadowbrook Pond Park's biggest attraction is its beavers.

Subject: [Tweeters] [OT] Beaver in Licton Springs?

I was talking with the head of the neighborhood association here in Licton
Springs (North Seattle), and she was complaining bitterly about the beaver
in the park. She says it's gnawing down the young alders and cedars and
building dams and such, and maybe I can squint at some of the downed trees
and believe her... but seriously, a beaver in Licton Springs? Where the hell
would it have come from, and how would it get here?

The wetlands in the middle of the park have always provided good habitat for
mallards and usually a few pairs of wood ducks in spring, but beaver
construction might change the character of the place and attract different
species. Anyone have any info?
