All about the West Seattle neighborhood around Beach Drive
Right now at Lowman Beach, the Puget Sound Kiteboarders are taking advantage of the gusty winds on Puget Sound. I understand from one of the participants that this was originally going to take place at Richmond Beach, however the winds were better here.
You can see more of my photos of the kite boarding in Puget Sound here.
Update: I just uploaded some videos from this morning.
The Seattle Southwest Precinct has released a Public Safety Newsletter October 28 2009 packed with Halloween safety tips.
This pumpkin was spotted along Beach Drive. Is your house spooky? Do you have jack-o-lanterns to share? Email your ghoulish photos to me to be posted on Beach Drive Blog.
It appears Seattle City Light is doing some re-wiring.
We just received this email:
"I…saw the recent crime activity right around our houses on the Beach Drive Blog. Yesterday morning, I discovered that someone had dug up a metal light at the end of our driveway and placed it right behind my husband's car in our driveway. This took some effort to do, as the light was heavy and attached to electrical wiring. I wanted to let you know, as I think we should all try to be extra vigilant about crime in our area."
The Seattle Police non-emergency number to report a crime is 206-625-5011. It's important to call events like this in.
Just learned that a printer (that no longer worked) was stolen from a car next door to where the lights were found this morning, on Beach Drive on the 4700 block. Perhaps the theives started with the lights and thought the printer would be a better take…not knowing the printer was in the car to be disposed.
Looks like someone ditched these items at 4717 Beach Drive in West Seattle. They are sitting in the shrubry if they belong to you.
Earlier this week, on Monday I believe, a barge parked for a while across from MeeKwaMooks before it moved to the 4100 section of Beach Drive. Apparently it was working on the bulkhead by the condo's. It was quite a sight.
You can see more photos of this Beach Drive bulkhead here.
Yesterday, while chatting with Suky, a Beach Drive neighbor, we noticed a bicyclist peddling through the grass at MeeKwaMooks towing a cart. At the time, we weren't sure what he was up to. Suky decided to investigate.
Come to find out, the bicyclist is Steve Richmond of Garden Cycles who has a contract with Seattle's Urban Forestly program to remove invasive plants including Japanese knotweed (a.k.a. polygonum).
Thanks, Suky!
