Neighbors who live in an area of Seattle near Cheasty Boulevard South say they've complained about a man who has dug up extensive ditches in the environmentally protected Cheasty Greenspace.
Ed Neubold said the man, known as "James" and also "Moleman," is ruining some of the city's wetlands by digging deep dtiches, caverns and steps in the protected area.
Wednesday, officials from Seattle Parks and Recreation searched for the man in the wooded area across from a golf course, with the intent of giving him a no-tresspass order.
