Bald Eagles off Beach Drive
June 5, 2016 by 1 Comment
The other day, a bald eagle apparently decided it did not want to share it’s small fish. (At least, I think it was a small fish).
I watched as these two flew back and forth, landing on rocks and post off Beach Drive by Emma Schmitz View Point.
I have a couple more photos of the eagles posted at Beach Drive Bungalow.

What’s with all the tents at Mee Kwa Mooks today? Well…it’s the second annual Emerald Waters Fly Fest!
This event is free and features a cook-off. Last year, the event was held at Lincoln Park. Mee Kwa Mooks appears to be more conducive for this event with the lack of picnic tables. Click here for more info.

Hats off to West Seattle Blog for organizing the massive community garage sale taking place in West Seattle tomorrow.
We have decided, too last minute to be on West Seattle Blog’s list, to have a garage sale tomorrow.
Our sale includes some brand new items, that we had originally purchased for our vacation rental, Beach Drive Bungalow, like:
- flatware for 8
- new pans
We also have:
- bathroom light fixture
- used toaster oven
- bar stools
- clothes, shoes (some never worn)
I will also have a couple limited edition signed Giclee prints of Rooster of the Sea available.
PS: If you have a Beach Drive garage sale you would like to promote, let us know! We are happy to promote your garage sale on “West Seattle Garage Sale Day” and any day of the year!

I was just telling my hubby that in the years we’ve lived here, we have seen a lonely Loon singing but not a pair.
We were thrilled this afternoon to be able to watch two Common Loons.

Car Stolen from Beach Drive

This morning a neighbor in the 5900 block of Beach Drive woke up to learn their car was stolen.
The thieves left two bicycles on the top of their driveway in exchange for their 2015 Mercedes SUV.
Here is a photo of the bikes. It’s very possible the the bicycles may have been stolen too.
Got family or friends coming to town?

Consider a vacation rental! You don’t have to send family and friends to trek to downtown Seattle for a hotel when there are so many vacation rentals in the Beach Drive neighborhood, including (shameless plug ahead) our Beach Drive vacation rental!
The selection of available properties is pretty amazing, including waterfront, view, condos, town homes, apartments over garages, studios, bedrooms and detached homes. Prices vary and are comparable or often better (in my opinion) than what you would pay in a hotel.
The next time you have friends or family coming to town for fun or business, check out one of the many vacation rental sights like VRBO, AirBnB or Trip Advisor/FlipKey so they can stay in West Seattle.
