All about the West Seattle neighborhood around Beach Drive
I'm working from home today battling a bug (the classic cold one catches from when the kids return to school). I noticed some strange, loud barking noises while sitting at my computer.
I ran to the deck and saw what appears to be two sea lions swimming along together.
I wish I had better photos to share with you–it really was quite a sight (and sound)!
This photo was submitted by Jan Burkholder who spied this little fella the other day along the shore along Beach Drive.
This morning's post about the weather is no "barking dog report" where I warn of extreme weather…but it doesn't hurt to start thinking about being prepared.
Puget Sound Marine Forecast:
…SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON…
TODAY…S WIND 15 TO 25 KT. WIND WAVES 2 TO 4 FT. CHANCE OF SHOWERS.
We're heading towards a low tide of 1.4 at 9:49 am and well head up to a 10.6 at 4:43 pm.
It looks like we may see sunshine tomorrow and Wednesday.
Dr. Ron Sterling, creator of the duckie displays, is offering a reward:
"There is a $500 reward for solid information about and apprehension and charging of the perpetrator(s). The reward will be paid at the time that a detective thinks he/she has the perp in hand, so to speak…"
September 27, 2010 at 10:15 am ~ Update (via Twitter): the reward has been increased to $1,000. (The title of this post has been updated as well).
You can barely see the cargo containers on top of this ship through the fog this morning.
Last night's sunset shows the same smaller boat in the above photo before this morning's heavy fog set in.
More photos from last night have been added to the Beach Drive Blog's Facebook sunset photo album.
This just in from one of our readers:
this late afternoon I saw a very old loose golden retriever at 60th and stevens street. (alki) It had a collar but no tags. The golden was very sweet but seemed a bit befuddled and walked with the care of the old.
If you're missing this dog, 60th and Stevens is where it was last seen.
Total assumption that these seals are pups… they were fun to watch swimming around the sound this morning.
The herons were photographed yesterday.
At 3800 and 4100 Beach Drive, you'll find two garage sales both benefiting great causes. Check them out and be sure to tell them that Beach Drive Blog sent you!
If you're a Beach Drive neighbor and have a garage sale or are doing a charity fundraiser and would like to promote it, please contact me.
