Who is the Best Dry Cleaner in West Seattle?

We’re ready to switch dry cleaners…the one we’re currently using is not located around here.   I would love to hear who your preferred dry cleaner is and why…

Personally, I prefer the before pictures.

Blimp, Baldy and Beautiful Sunset

A few recent photos to share with you.    Did you see the Goodyear Blimp floating over Vashon last Wednesday?

Sights and sounds from the West Seattle Hi-Yu Parade

Img_5306I just uploaded a video to share with you that we had from our vantage point from the parade.   

We wound up planting ourselves on Charleston and California and it was kind of odd to be between two buildings that may be no more.    I love these apartments.    I don’t know if it’s the sloped roof line or the bricks.   I can’t imagine anything as lovely to my eyes will be replacing them.

Img_5388Every so often, I noticed employees of the Charleston Cafe peaking through the trees to catch a bit of the parade…I’m sure they were on breaks!

Last, but not least, check out this drill team (not sure if that’s what you call this talented group)…they are amazing!
