The Beach Drive Blog Community Forums is a great place to promote yourself. I recommend using your profile page. Here's what my profile currently looks like:
On the profile page, you have the ability to add links/feeds to your blog or Twitter account. You can upload photos or videos. If you click on the "add profile apps" link (it's under my photo above)…you'll be amazed at all the stuff you can do.
Check it out and be sure to invite fellow Beach Drive Neighbors to the community forums. It is a "members only" site (not public) for the neighborhoods along Beach Drive.
Beach Drive Blog (this site…where you are at now) is a public site.

What to do on Mother’s Day? Visit the Walker Rock Garden
May 10, 2009 by 1 Comment
In years past, this garden has been open on Mother's Day from noon to 5:00pm and
then re-opens starting on Sunday's in June. This amazing site is located in the backyard of 5407 37th Avenue SW, Seattle. My Grandpa Boots worked with rocks when he was alive…but nothing quite like this!

Did You Feel It?

I did not feel the earth quake at 5:20 this morning. But the 4.5 magnitude located by Kingston was enough to wake up my husband (who then woke me up).
Did this morning's quake wake you?

December 29, 2008 by Leave a Comment
Libby Carr was kind enough to send us this nudge tonight:
"Just want to remind everyone that there are only 2 days left to get in your orders for inscribed bricks to be placed in the new Alki Statue of Liberty Plaza! Orders must be postmarked no later than December 31, 2008. The PayPal link at the Urban Sparks website will be disabled at midnight on New Year's Eve."
Bricks and Tribute Plaques are still available…for more information, from our previous post, click here.
"Seattle Parks and Recreation has scheduled the installation of all new Bricks, Plaques, the Time Capsule, and replacement bricks for the spring of 2009, and we will notify all donors when a firm date has been set…"

Waves Gone Wild!
December 29, 2008 by Leave a Comment
When will our weather lighten up a bit? Geepers (as my Grandma Esther would 
say)! Watching the early news this morning on King-5, snug as a bug, I was dismayed to hear that we are set to have a series of storms this week…and so here we are with non-stop wind and waves. It’s gorgous to look at as long as the waves stays over on the water side of the bulkhead! Today is supposidly just the start…Wednesday night to Thursday morning (from what I understand) is suppose to be the big whopper of wind storms. It’s a bit too early for me to post a “barking dog” report…but it’s never too early for a concerned dog to pace around a bit. Especially if you consider that we’re having high tides just over 12 feet this entire week…WOOF!
In fact, according to the local Beach Drive “weather station” we’ve had gusts up to 56 mph today. The photo is of a barnacle that splashed about 20 feet high onto our bedroom window!
Here’s how things look so far based on the Puget Sound Marine forecast:
