A human foot was found washed ashore on Whidbey Island in Washington state on Friday.
The bare foot was found at about 11:15 a.m. by a tourist on the east side of the island, near the town of Greenbank.
It is the ninth severed foot to be found on the B.C.-Washington coast since August 2007, with seven of those in B.C.
Based on what were seeing, were estimating that it either belongs to a female or a juvenile, because its a smaller size, said Island County Det. Ed Wallace.

Sounds like it’s the work of Shamu - the killer whale !
Possible. Except... the feet are washing up all over the Northwest. Out on the ocean, in Puget Sound, up in B.C... all over. If you ~wanted~ the feet to wash up and be found... those are pretty improbable places.
I'm thinking something else. But the question remains... why just feet? It's not like there's hands washing up somewhere else.
Sumbody tried to walk on water?
Go on, ya hoser!
>>> Its pretty apparent there is a serial killer on the loose.
My first question remains, how are so many feet just successfully floating ashore in the first place. Shouldn’t the severed feet be heavy enough to just sink.
Decomposition gasses will float a corpse after a time, but I question if this would apply to the severed foot open to the sea and allowing the gasses to easily escape. I think they are being planted where they can be found.
Washatonian voters! I present to you the amazing feets of Sen. Patty Murray!
>>> It’s pretty apparent a serial killer is on the loose.
I suspect Count Chocula.
That's not very deep. I once read something about 20,000 Legs under the sea....
Sugar Bear.
Bears often leave the appendages behind.
Maybe I am mistaken but I think we went to Whidby Island on a trip to the NW. We drove all over the island trying to find a spot where we could actually see a beach and the water. We couldn't find one, all we found were NO TRESSPASSING and KEEP OUT signs. It was before 2007 so we wouldn't have found any feet.
There's EVIL afoot!
Why did Obama take only one rubber boot with him on his Gulf coast vacation? (Because he heard there was only one foot of oil).....alright alright, so it’s a groaner.

I live on a beach in Puget Sound. I've seen a V-8 engine block "wash up" on my beach. Explain that... :-)
Was that with Cptn. Knee-mo?
any idea to race and gender?
sounds like either stowaways gone awry
or foul play
how was the cut...neat or torn
clues
Oddly enough, I’m having manwich for dinner.
So, how many feet per square mile is that, exactly?
