Welcome Home! USS John C. Stennis

What a beautiful day to see the USS John C. Stennis  navigate back home to Bremerton. Here are a few of the photos we...

Car Prowled yesterday

I received this email from on of our neighbors: “ I live at 3800 block of Beach Drive and someone went through my car… they just looked through it and took a couple of things…” Just a reminder to keep you doors locked and to call the police when something like this happens.

Another Beautiful Night

Beach Drive neighbor, Larry, sent us this photo saying it sums up our last few gorgeous sunny evenings.   Is it too soon for “deck season” to officially begin?

LOST CAT: Have you seen Isis?

 This just in from a Beach Drive neighbor on the 4700 block: I came home tonight to discover that one of our cats had gotten out while we were away. She is a small grey cat, missing one eye. She is not wearing a collar, as she’s an indoor cat. She’s pretty skittish, and doesn’t like to be held, but will come to my voice. We are fostering her and do not know if she is micro-chipped. If you...

Have You Seen a Missing Buoy

This email came in last night from a Beach Drive neighbor: My neighbor’s large round mooring buoy broke loose last week. It’s white with black numbers. It floated away from the 5400 block of Beach Drive. She’s asking anyone sighting it to please call 206-734-5992.  

LOST CAT: Have you seen Charlie?

charlie This message is from Charlie’s human/owner: HELP! I’M LOST! My name is Charlie. I live at 54th & Alki. I am a 3-year-old orange and white fixed male cat, and I went missing on Thursday 07 March around 8:00PM. I am an indoor cat, and if I ever get outdoors I usually hide, making it difficult for you to see me. I am pretty skittish around other cats and animals, but am known to be pretty vocal...

EDITORS NOTE: We’re updating this post as our intrepid reporter, Scupper, provides us with new footage. Scroll to the bottom of this post for the most recent photos and video. It’s a blustery morning to be salvaging the sunken trimaran Nunga Nunga Nue off the shores of Harbor West Condos and Cormorant Cove Park.

LOST DOG: Streaker – UPDATE: Streaker is FOUND!

UPDATE:  Streaker is FOUND!   Please keep your eyes out for Streaker. He’s a lost black and tan dog missing from the 4300 Block of Beach Drive around Emma Schmitz View Point.  

The Skipper has his boat!

Thanks to a couple of good people in our community, the “Skipper” has his power boat out of Puget Sound waters by Cormorant Cove Park and Harbor West Condominiums.   I’m sure he really appreciates the kind help he had from the West Seattle community and beyond during this unfortunate...

Anyone have a winch to help out “The Skipper”

 The “Skipper” of the sunken trimaran is trying to rescue his power boat. He is at the boat ramp at Cormorant Cove Park by Harbor West Condos (3701 Beach Drive SW). The ramp does not allow motorized vehicles so could use a little help – and he needs it soon or he’ll be fighting the tides which are going out around 11:30 this morning. If someone has a motorized winch – something...

Vehicle wipes out sign and hits Beach Drive home

 At around 4:00 am this morning, a vehicle wiped out a sign and struck a home around the 4000 block of Beach Drive.   The home that was hit has damage to the garage door, landscaping and garbage cans.   A couple neighbors from the condos across the street were awoken from the noise. One neighbor said it was so loud, they thought it was in their...

Found: Gym Bag

We received this message last night from a BD neighbor:  This morning where 59th turns into Chilberg (corner with SW Douglas pl)- was a gym bag that had looked ruffled through, clothes pouring out of it, it seems as if someone had stolen it and gone through it then tossed it out. The clothes are nice outdoor and gym clothing – at least if the bag was stolen from someone’s car last night, they can...

Several Police Cars on Beach Drive

 Moments ago, we counted six or seven police cars on Beach Drive by Emma Schmitz View Point.    From the West Seattle Blog: If you’ve seen the police response near Me-Kwa-Mooks Park and are wondering what’s going on: Police were looking for someone reported to be possibly in danger of harming himself, and, according to scanner traffic, found him, and were calling in an ambulance to get him...

Sunday update on the wrecked Trimaran

 Just a few photos to provide an update this morning on the state of the trimaran which is tied up by the Harbor West Condos. A small debris field is next to the boat and it appears very little debris is in the...

No swimming or wading allowed at Cormorant Cove Park

 Yesterday the Seattle Public Utilities posted a sign by Cormorant Cove Park off of Beach Drive warning the public to not swim nor wade in the Puget Sound waters.   This happens to be near where the trimaran and power boat wrecked by the Harbor West Condominiums. However it is our understanding that the officials were originally called out for a possible sewage leakage from the condominiums and not for...

Update on the troubled trimaran

Scupper went back to check on the “Skipper” of the two sunken boats by Harbor West Condos off Beach Drive and took these photos along with an update (probably our last…for tonight at least) of this situation.   A West Seattle neighbor and his friends from Port Angeles decided to help the Skipper with clean up this evening and to try to salvage what ever can be of the Skippers...

Our earlier coverage can be found here and begins here.   Scupper visited the sunken trimaran this morning.

The Tri is “high and dry”

 Last night we reported on the sail boat (technically a tri-moran) that was taking on water off the shores of Emma Schmitz View Point. At the time, the captain was certain everything was under control.  It appears the very same boat, sofa and all, sunk off in the Puget Sound waters by Harbor Crest Condos.  View from Harbor West  Condos West Seattle Blog reports the tri is waiting for high tide...

Here’s more from West Seattle...
