Last Sunday we had “Blue Thunder” for the Seahawks game…and it looks like this Sunday will bring howling weather as the National Weather Service has issued a Special Weather Statement for the first official day of fall. It’s probably a good idea to make sure what leaves are currently around drains are cleared (although we’re going to have plenty more coming down).
Possible car prowl last night
September 8, 2013 by Leave a Comment
A neighbor notified us that around midnight, they saw a young man appear to be going through a car on the 4700 block of Beach Drive. When the neighbors approached the vehicle, which he had opened the car doors of, he ran across the street to his silver min-van and sped off. The police were about this incident.
If for nothing else, this can serve as a reminder to lock your car doors and keep valuables out of sight (or better yet, out of your cars) to deter criminals.
Bike Stolen from Secure Condo on Beach Drive
September 4, 2013 by Leave a Comment
This is from the West Seattle Blog:
My beautiful blue/black carbon Lemond Zurich T- 04 woman’s road bike was stolen from a secure condo garage along Beach Drive, where it hung bolted and locked on a concrete wall. Serial #WL3149448, registered with the police on 1/14/2005. Blue Bontrager tires, Terry gel saddle, lights, bag, pump, U lock, etc. I rode hundreds of miles in events like Cycle Oregon and loved this bike. It fit me like a glove. Please watch out for it and tell your friends to do the same. Thanks!
Please keep you eyes out for Sue’s bike which was stolen 3 weeks ago.

The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for Western Washington beginning tomorrow afternoon through Friday.
Potential flooding is anticipated to occur with the heavy rains from the possible thunderstorms (which are also in the forecast for tonight). West Seattle Blog makes a great suggestion to check gutters and drains now to make sure they’re clear before the storm arrives.
Saturday and Sunday are looking nice and sunny 🙂

This morning our guard cat, Rocko, spied a Blue Heron scoping out our neighbors home.
The Heron looks like he’s wondering what’s being served for breakfast. There is actually a second heron on the beach below.

A Beach Drive neighbor contacted us this morning as it appears a bike has been possibly abandoned at their condo.
The mountain(?) bike looks like it could belong to a child and is silver and purple.
If you’re missing a bike, please let us know!
