Motorists traveling near Sea-Tac Airport on Saturday morning, June 20 may have done a double take after several goats were spotted walking along SR 518.

According to Rick Johnson of the Washington State Patrol, the goats were taking a stroll on SR 518 near the airport when troopers responded.

The goats were safely rounded up and given what Johnson described as a free ride back to their owner.

“They were being baaaaaaaaad,” Johnson wrote in a social media post.

The unusual encounter provided troopers with another unexpected call in King County, where the Washington State Patrol said there is “always something new for troopers.”
