Must have caught it when it rained once and they keep coming back for more ever since

I think it's more that seals have limited options for descending a flight of stairs.

They'll also provide a useful defence force when a band of humans re-occupy the station after the apocalypse.

Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, first lit in 1881. Almost impossible to get to because the surf around the rock is deadly and only accessible certain times of year. The sea is VERY rough there. During storms waves can even reach the top. When decommissioned in 1957, it was sold to a entrepreneur who thought he could make money selling it as a place for interring people's ashes. A business failure, but there were several people interred there. Its for sale if you're interested.

They should fill in the steps to make it more fun.

I kinda want to move there just so I can carve them an actual slide.

Their choices are limited since their flippahs don't reach their privates.

Looks like they quite enjoy sliding down the stairs. ↑ ↑

Oregon also has a sea lion cave.

I know this SEEMS cool, and it is cool I guess, but REALLY this is sad. They're not there because of their admiration for light houses, they're there because all the other places they love probably have millionaires boats moored on them and a constant danger of getting hit by spinning metal blades. They found one spot where there aren't any people and they're hanging out there. I might be wrong though.
