1:20Now PlayingWhat does it take to become a Seattle legend? Apparently, one unusual raccoon and a name like Jimothy.
After being filmed in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood, Jimothy captured millions of hearts with his rounded body, shortened spine, distinctive walk, and remarkable ability to thrive in the city. Soon, he inspired artwork, memes, local celebrations, and even recognition from the Seattle Mariners.
This is the story of how one resilient raccoon became one of Seattle’s most unexpected icons.
Please admire Jimothy from a distance. Wildlife experts recommend that people avoid approaching, feeding, capturing, or searching for him so he can continue living safely in the wild.
