High tide of 10.08 takes place at 2:48 this afternoon… so we may be dodging the opportunity to flood. The wind warning is in effect starting 5:00 pm tonight at which point, tides will be around 8 feet. The next high tide of 8.28 will be at 1:54 am.
Tis the season for wind, waves and rain

I was caught on the West Seattle Bridge late this afternoon in an amazing display of Mother Nature’s force. It was more rain, wind and water than I have ever witnessed on the bridge. I’m very glad to be home!

NWS issues Special Weather Statement for Sunday
September 20, 2013 by Leave a Comment
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.
NWS issues a Flood Watch for tomorrow afternoon
September 4, 2013 by Leave a Comment
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 🙂
Photo Contest!
September 3, 2013 by 1 Comment
We thought it would be fun to have a little contest with Beach Drive Blog.
Beach Drive neighbors can submit their favorite photos that illustrate Beach Drive.
The “winner” will have their photo proudly displayed as our Facebook header photo. We’ll announce each “winner” with a blog post providing them full credit for their beautiful photo.
Depending on how many great photos we receive, we’ll continue to rotate photos we feel best reflect our neighborhood of Beach Drive.
We (the high and powerful peeps behind the curtain at Beach Drive Blog headquarters) reserve the right to not publish any photo for any reason. Photos submitted may not be commercial and must be of your own creation and authority to share.
You can submit your photos to us either by Facebook or sending us an email.
So what are you waiting for?? 🙂 Get snapping!
