Injured and trapped Seagull in need of transport or local authority help- seen on July 20th federal city, WA
The address for Yi's Traditional Korean Beef Soup in Federal Way is: 31248 Pacific Hwy S, Ste E, Federal Way, WA 98003
My family visited from Oregon for a day trip to Washington, and we ate at Yi's Traditional Korean Beef Soup in federal way, Washington.
We saw one adult seagull with a broken wing, in a fenced area containing large green 'bins'. It hopped a little after I and my dad crossed the parking lot or tried to get a little closer to it.
Later after we left the restaurant: yis traditional beef soup, we decided to call local animal rescue places like Gigi harbor and paws wildlife center and other places. And a few answered with most saying they do not capture animals themselves but mostly rely on the public, to capture and transport injured seagulls to them. We also tried calling the Korean restaurant we went to, but their answering machine may have been malfunctioning.
We could not transport or capture it due to our personal decisions.
Could anyone help capture and transport the seagull to paws wildlife center or a local rehabilitation center?? Or at least make sure local authorities would help it, to not prolong it being trapped (and I imagine suffering) inside the enclosed fence area anymore.
I am just visiting Washington and really hope someone could make sure the seagull is taken care of.

Edit: on a Reddit post, someone suggested me to call fish and wildlife department for that area, I did and they said they couldn’t capture and go to capture it, I also called local animal control for federal way, about three times over past few days and they were always busy, I left a voicemail but they never called back. All of the animal rehabs locally or nearby say they rely on the public to transport and capture animals to bring it to them.
