Bulkheads, barges and saving homes from tear downs
February 6, 2008 by 1 Comment
A Beach Drive Blog reader asks:
…water is eroding the base of our bulkheads. Anyone know of a contractor that can check it out?
Another reader is looking for a barge service:
…that can bridge from the boat to my bulkhead, as it is on the sound and their is no dock.
Last tid bit is from a reader who offers to save homes from becoming a tear down, she…
might be able to save that little brown house from ending up in a land fill by moving it to a new location and sprucing it up.
Do you know of anyone who can help?
Tear Down on Jacobsen

The house that’s been hanging on the hillside along Jacobsen is in the process of being torn down…finally.
Thanks to Rob for the tip and sending the above photo from his cell phone.
Brown House Update
January 8, 2008 by Leave a Comment
This house doesn’t even need an address…it’s just known as "the brown house". Since I was photographing the bungalow tear down on Beach Drive, I thought I’d check out the latest notes posted on the infamous "brown house".
Good news…the home has been winterized! It is still sitting there all boarded up waiting for it’s destiny of being torn down to emerge from the wreckage as shiny new townhomes! At least the mattress window coverings are gone and the garbage in the front has been removed.
Hopefully the sign in the window dated December 20, 2007 means that they are progressing with this poor old home.
I think it’s safe to say that this is a tear down the locals have been waiting for.
Gone in a Flash

The bungalow at 3726 Beach Drive has been reduced to a pile of rubble and debris.
I wish I had a photo of the home when she was in her glory. The only one I have is after it was tagged with a yellow sign, abandoned to be torn down. West Seattle Blog has a series of photos documenting this tear down that are amazing.
Hay, they’re finally going to start the tear down

That’s a bit of sarcasm you’re sensing, I’m not thrilled about this tear down (although I’m ready for that brown house to go). I’m not sure why I like this house…I guess it just reminds me of where a sweet Grandma would have lived.
One less Seattle bungalow…one more townhome (4 units).
Another Tear Down on Beach Drive

I didn’t see this one coming. This use to be a small colorful cottage that sat back on the lot located on the 3600 block of Beach Drive. I’m sorry to say, I don’t have a “before picture” only a “during”.
