Senior Communities on Hunt for Local Puget Sound Monster

Senior communities are known for offering residents the opportunity to play bridge, knit, watch old movies, and talk about fond memories, but a local Seattle senior community has added a new activity to the list; monster hunting.

Seattle, WA (prHWY.com) March 20, 2012 - Senior communities are known for offering residents the opportunity to play bridge, knit, watch old movies, and talk about fond memories, but a local Seattle senior community has added a new activity to the list; monster hunting. The Beautiful Hills Senior Retirement Community has started offering monster hunting as a new activity residents can choose to engage in.

"We get some pretty weird looks from new residents when they see monster hunting on the monthly schedule", said activity coordinate, Sally Johnson. "Despite those odd looks, monster hunting is really one of our most popular activities throughout all our communities."

Monster hunting started when some of the senior community's residents got together and were discussing old memories. They all swore that they saw a beautiful sea creature at some point in time in Puget Sound.

The description of the monster varied from double heads, to three tails, but each member swore they saw a monster rise from the beautiful waters of the Sound. After noticing several members shared the same story, a group was formed to watch over the water of Puget Sound, and see if they could capture the illusive monster in the act.

"It was amazing to see our residents share a common story with each other", said Johnson. "It was then I threw out the idea of forming a monster hunting group to see if we could capture the monster on film."

The group meets three times a month, at various times throughout the day. Members sit on the roof of The Beautiful Hills Senior Retirement Community in Richmond Beach and Whidbey Island, and watch the Puget Sound for any signs of the monster. They are equipped with video cameras, binoculars, and cameras to catch the monster in action.

"I love bundling up, grabbing a cup of coffee, and working with my fellow neighbors to find this pesky monster", said 85 year old resident John Hopkins. "I saw the monster when I was 10, and I vowed to find him again. Now is my chance. I almost feel like Elmer Fudd looking for that pesky rabbit."

Currently only the Richmond Beach and Whidbey Island Beautiful Hills Senior Retirement Community offers monster hunting, but other locations plan on picking up the activity soon. The original monster hunting group started out with 5 members, and has grown to over 35 in just a matter of three months.

"I don't know if there is a monster out there", said Whidbey Island resident Lee Thompson. "But if he's out there we will catch him. We're the Mighty Morphin Power Monster Hunters that we are! And we have our eyes on you!"
