VIDEO: Alex Hunter, a 23-year-old student at Bellevue College, was visiting his parents on Whidbey Island for the week when his grandfather, Dave Anderson, interrupted their dinner asking for Hunter's help. Anderson had gotten a phone call saying his assistance was needed—and to bring a big net.
“My grandpa was a vet for many years and is known as a great problem solver around the island, so that’s why he was called,” said Hunter in an email to KOMO News. “His buddy had called him and needed him down at Mutiny Bay because there was a baby elephant seal stuck in a manhole.”
