All about the West Seattle neighborhood around Beach Drive
There is a large gathering of motorcyclist at Mee Kwa Mooks park. 
Right now, as I write this post, there are about 80 bikes and there are anticipated to be 400 bikes joining the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride. This fundraiser takes place worldwide today.
Two West Seattle families completely lost their homes yesterday from a devastating fire. Another home was damaged by the same 2-alarm fire as well.
If you are interested in donating, two “crowd funding” sites have been set up for the two families. Click here for Tom and Mary and here for Amy and John‘s fundraising sites.
UPDATE: Another crowd funding site has been added for the other home that was involved with fire. Click here for Ellie and her husband.
From West Seattle Blog:
Three Morgan Junction food/beverage establishments – Peel & Press, The Bridge, Beveridge Place Pub – will be donating a percentage of proceeds on Tuesday,according to Dan from P & P.
On Sunday, August 11, 2013, around one hundred cyclist will pedal the through Beach Drive as part of their 180 mile trek for Obliteride. 
Obliteride is a fundraiser for the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to help obliterate cancer.
Our neighborhood is the 2nd day of a 180 mile course with day 2 beginning at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma and finishing in Magnuson Park in North Seattle.
Neighbors are encouraged to come to the end of their driveway, set up chairs, play music and cheer for the cyclists as they ride through the area. Cyclists will be wearing a rider number on their helmet, back of jersey and on the back of their seat.
Here’s the West Seattle portion of the course from Burien:
Let’s cheer these cyclist on for such an important cause!

Today's the day to leave canned goods for your mail carrier to pick up in the blue plastic bags they gave out last week for their annual Stamp Out Hunger campaign.
I'm scheduled to be "locked up" to raise funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association on April 7, 2011 at Angelina's Trattoria in West Seattle.
While I have no idea who the special person was who nominated me to this event, I do know that I'm tasked to raise $2,000 to help King County families.
Please help "bail me out" by making a donation (click here). Every donation counts and I appreciate your support for this important cause.
Thank you!
