LOST Keys

Did you find a set of keys? This just in from one our readers:

I lost a set of keys Sunday afternoon around the restrooms at Alki and 63rd St on Sunday at about 4:45 pm. There are several car keys on a red key anchor with WWU. Any help would be appreciated.

Please comment below if you found these keys.

Delta Marine Superyacht Invictus cruising off the shores of Beach Drive

It’s hard to miss this 215 foot yacht, even through tonight’s misty Puget Sound waters.

Storm knocks out power along Beach Drive and West Seattle homes

I’m writing this wishing I would have charged up my phone as I’m using it for my Wi-Fi.

We’ve been without power for about 30 minutes. It seems as though the worst of the storm has passed.

West Seattle blog reports that approximately 4800 homes in West Seattle are without power.

Scupper Sr. says the worst part of all of this are sump-pumps not having power.

UPDATE: just as I’m publishing… looks like our power is restored! 🙂 …plugging in my phone now to charge it up…just in case… looks like we may be having issues with our Comcast internet.

Okay… looks like Comcast cable is out too… lights are still on and my phone is still charging.

FOUND: Dog wondering on Beach Drive [Update: Reunited!]

UPDATE:  She’s been reunited with her humans! 

 

From our Facebook page:

Found collarless wandering Beach Dr. I put her in my car and took her home. Now she is just hanging out with my two dogs but I’m sure she misses her people!

FOUND Cat

This just in from a Beach Drive neighbor:

“We live right near la Rustica and this cat followed me into my yard and decided to stay today. We would approach but both of us are very allergic and he seems very  friendly and not scared of dogs. If you know his owner, please let us know. Thanks!!”
