Law enforcement officers and the public in Washington state came together Sunday to take a rare hazard off the roads: Runaway zebras. But despite successfully corralling three of them after they bust loose near North Bend, on the eastern outskirts of Seattle, one is still on the run. Trooper Rick Johnson, public information officer for Washington State Patrol District 2 in King County, said four zebras got loose on Interstate 90 near the North Bend exit.
Alex Campo, who works in a restaurant off I-90 and who, along with brunch patrons, saw the animals running past, told KING Sunday would be known as 'the day the zebras came into North Bend.' One local who helped to usher one of the zebras into someone's yard, posted video footage on Facebook and wrote: 'I can now add zebra wrangler to my resume.' Another video posted to Instagram showed all four zebras stopping traffic in North Bend as bewildered drivers looked on.
