All the sirens last night were for an apartment building that had caught fire at 3821 Beach Drive…the good news is that no one was injured. To read more and see photos, check out West Seattle Blog’s coverage.

What: DPD meeting to hear public comments on project at 59th Ave and Stevens St
When: This Thursday, May 22nd, 6:30 PM
Where: Admiral Public Library, 42nd Ave and College St
Who: Alki residents interested in keeping our Alki Playfield out of the shadows.
Apologies for your late-arriving Beacon with a Page 3 story on the impact that the proposed new construction could have on our park and the safety of our children. Most members in 98116 Zip should get their Beacon today after a bag was lost in the mail for over a week.Most of our ACC members pay their dues in May, so take a look at your Beacon and send in your dues if your label says May08 above your name. Many thanks for your loyal support.

What’s going on at Jacobsen and Beach Drive yesterday?
April 9, 2008 by 3 Comments
I received this email from a concerned neighbor this morning…I don’t have any answers, do you?
Yesterday (4/8 at 3:00 pm), I saw 3 trucks and about 6 guys (all with clipboards and wearing orange vests) on the water side of Jacobsen and Beach Drive. One of the truck had "Waste Management" on it. I was wondering if you knew anything about this or what their up to.
Could this have something to do with the sea wall and where the grass is sinking along the park? Inquiring minds want to know!

Just scroll down and click on the Alki project to view the slide show.

Today: April 3, 2008 is Good People Day

If you know me at all, then you know I’m a wine lover. I also get a kick out of Gary Vanderchuk, a wine reviewer who uses funny, easy to understand terms for us "normal" folks who don’t know what lychee, bilberry or acacia smell like. The burgandy colored Wine Library TV badge on the lower left side of this blog is a link to his wine reviews.
Good People Day is all about recognizing all the fine folks in our lives. Gary is trying to do this via the web and fellow bloggers. I can’t help but support his efforts.
I’d like to recognize all our neighbors, BDB readers, friends and family and all who do good. Thanks, Guys, you’re the BEST!
Spread the word!
