SEQUIM — One of the Roosevelt elk sculptures that greets visitors when they enter the city limit was the target of a prank when it received an unwelcome anatomical addition earlier this week.
But Sequim Public Works Director Jeff Edwards isn’t laughing.
A passing motorist called 9-1-1 at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday to report the signature sculpture at the city’s western entrance had been vandalized.
Someone clamped a 2.5-foot-long male appendage onto the elk.
Diane Royall likes to look at the elk as a reminder of the unique place she lives.
But on Wednesday she couldn’t help but notice the elk’s new embellishment on her way to pick her children up from school.
“It was very hard to miss,” she said, describing the prank as “rude, crude and impolite.”
