There’s a sign when you pull into the parking lot for the South Fork restaurant in North Bend. It says “South Fork is Team Zebra. Call 911 if you see him.”
People in this town are obsessed with finding the zebra that’s been on the loose now for five days. They’re looking for it in dog parks, in the pastures where wild elk graze, and on isolated backroads. For those that encounter the zebra in person, it leaves a mark.
