Ticks in Seattle

I’m 40 and lived in Seattle area most of my life. I’ve had dogs all my life. Today was the first time I found a tick on my dog. I’ve only been in my neighborhood (Phinney Ridge) with my dog for the past few weeks.

This sucks and is scary, because of climate change ticks are now in Seattle. By the look of it, it’s a deer tick/ black-legged tick.

Please check yourself, your pets, and children when out. If you can, please put your pets on a prescription based tick and flea medication. Stay safe everyone.
