I wonder if this eagle was making sure folks were picking up after their dogs at Emma Schmitz Memorial View Point? Thanks to Janine for sending this picture to us!
Pixie Bob Kitten available
January 17, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Are you considering adding a kitten to your home? A local West Seattle pixie-bob breeder, Seattle’s Best, has a beautiful kitten available. Her name is Squeaker. Isn’t she adorable?
Sherri from Seattle’s Best describes Squeaker as:
Door greeter, loves to talk but quiet purr/chirping, prefers a piece of paper to her furry mouse at the moment but her favorite is a wand toy, sleeps on the bed at night behind your knees, loves racing down the hallway, would love a feline or dog friendly buddy, uses the scratching post faithfully, likes to watch TV with you and if she is sitting on the same piece of furniture as you, has to be touching you, loves having her belly rubbed and being petted, makes biscuits when petted even if she is eating.
She weighs 9lb 5oz at 6.5 months so she is going be a big girl. She has long hair, a beautiful thick almost full length tail.
If you’re not familiar with the pixie-bob bread, they are more “trainable” than a typical cat. Some say they’re almost dog like as they will come when you call them, play fetch and some even swim or can be walked on a leash. By the way, “making biscuits” means kneading – I had to ask Sherri!
Squeaker is $400 and she is fully vaccinated, spayed and microchipped. Of course she is a purebred Pixie Bob and comes with papers, born 06/22/12.

It appears there is a police boat that has been slowly canvasing the shores off Beach Drive. We’ve seen an underwater flare and another shot in the air near Emma Schmitz View Point and Mee Kwa Mooks.

Beach Drive neighbors concerned about potential landslides
January 9, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Just caught on the news and West Seattle Blog about a mudslide that happened in the Alki neighborhood of West Seattle today. The City of Seattle has identified “land slide prone” areas in this map.
We’ve experienced recent landslides along the 6000 block of Beach Drive around Atlas Street.
You can get more information about landslides from the USGS (United States Geological Survey) here – the landslide study on West Seattle is here.
Are you missing a boat?
