Write the Caption: Towel-Clad Man Walks Along State Route 520

Perhaps there is a reasonable explanation for this man walking along 520 in a towel. If so, the Washington State Department of Transportation doesn't know it.

A towel-clad man was spotted walking along State Route 520 this afternoon in a photo tweeted by the Washington State Department of Transportation around 3:15 p.m.

Officials with the Washington State Department of Transportation said that the department had no additional information about the man, who was spotted in a towel draped around him like a toga near the 98th Avenue Southeast camera.

Patch has contacted the Washington State Patrol for additional information about the man and will update if we hear anything.

But if you have any ideas about what is going on in this picture, or if you saw this man, please feel free to tell us in the comments.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

I'll be a bit more direct than Jerry. The new site is a mess. Visually it's extremely cluttered.Read More It's slow, very slow. There appear to be no RSS feeds, a major negative. Following a few links sometimes sends you to a different community's Patch site. And what happened with the editing staff. Unless I missed something, suddenly there are new editors without any warning. No matter what the circumstances, normally such a move would be accompanied by an announcement of some sort. Venice may be the greatest editor ever, but it looks like she is splitting her time among several Patch sites, so the odds are stacked against her. Her "latest activities" list even suggests that she is editing a Patch site down in the San Francisco Bay area. With all due respect, Patch sites should be hyper-local, and the best route to that is a local (i.e. Mercer Islander) editor.

The Jury is still out. I liked the "Old Patch". J
