All about the West Seattle neighborhood around Beach Drive
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.
Thanks to Jan who sent in these photos this morning (sorry I didn't have a chance to post until now):
"the barge is picking up a shovel that was crating a rip-rap to strengthen a bulkhead a few doors down from us".
This could be good timing if you check ahead to the weather with a small craft advisory for tomorrow for the Puget Sound. This from the Marine Forecast:
TUE…SE WIND 15 TO 25 KT. WIND WAVES 2 TO 4 FT. CHANCE OF RAIN.

I just received this comment on a BDB post:
"We live down in the Seola Beach Area and have had some damage to our bulkhead and drains. Can anyone recommend a company who specializes in this?"
With all the bulkheads along Beach Drive…I figure someone out there must know of a bulk head specialist–please comment here and help out a neighbor.
