Who is Jimothy?

Jimothy is a large, unbothered raccoon who has been sighted across Seattle neighborhoods at all hours, usually engaged in some form of light mischief — bin-raiding, tree-napping, or holding uncomfortably long eye contact with pedestrians.

Nobody's entirely sure if "Jimothy" is one raccoon or a title passed down through a whole raccoon lineage. What we do know is that sightings keep coming in, so this log exists to track them all in one place.
