Washington Park deer

Aren't these guys sweet. Look how fuzzy the baby is. They live at the park and since it is mostly wooded they have a forever home. There are more deer and they are quite friendly.
Washington Park sits on a peninsula at the west end of Fidalgo Island. The 220-acre city park features camping, a boat launch, and day use picnic sites. A scenic 2.2-mile loop road winds through the park’s forested hills and meadows with views of the San Juan Islands and Olympic Mountains.
