I’m not exactly sure what the US Army Corps of Engineers is doing in the Puget Sound right now (just south of Emma Schmitz Memorial View Point)…but it makes for some interesting photos.

Suspicious cars parked at Mee Kwa Mooks
November 16, 2007 by Leave a Comment
I received this email from a Beach Drive neighbor concerned about suspicious car at Mee Kwa Mooks Park:
"This morning at 5:45ish I was out for a morning walk/run and noticed a early 90’s/late 80’s (4) door model Mazda Protégé. It was a dark maroon color. Their were people sitting in there and the car was running. I believe they may have been sleeping; however, they did not move their car until 11:40ish. I had literally just decided I was going to go and get the license plate number just to hang on to….For all of the “suspicious” activity with car prowlers and attempted break ins I just thought I might spread the word… thanks."
Benjamin Kinlow, Community Crime Prevention Coordinator suggests:
"…keep a record of suspicious person and vehicles. I am including an attachments [see below] to help you with keeping a record. If you see vehicles at this location serval times a week, then I can let the Community Police Team Officer know and request patrol check the park every day."

Beach Drive Wine Cellars
November 16, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Hat tip (or should I say I raise my glass) to West Seattle Blog; I haven’t ventured outside in this wind yet to pick up my weekend paper and they’ve all ready posted on an article featuring Beach Drive neighbors, Scott and Susan Lipskey’s wine cellar.
I imagine that there are many wine cellars along Beach Drive of all shapes, sizes and ages. Do you have a wine cellar? We have one that is rumored to be from prohibition days. One of these days I may share some photos or write a little about it.
Note: I meant to publish this post back on Nov. 11…it slipped by me somehow.
