This was not the first Humboldt squid sighting nearby, see here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humboldt_squid
and especially here: http://westseattleblog.com/blog/?p=18474
Still a fascinating thing to see. There are multiple issues here in terms of
ecological changes, El Nino, etc. We can expect to see lots of unusual
species on Vashon in decades to come.

How so?
Not a good sign for the fish down here, or not a good sign for where a
Humboldt squid should be?
