All about the West Seattle neighborhood around Beach Drive
Tinkerbelle has two seconds at her new foster in West Seattle and darted away. We must find her. Can you help spread the word?
She left near 3017 SW Elm Grove Street.

update: Tinkerbelle has been found! I love happy news.
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.

West Seattle Blog has a disturbing story about how a man (mis)represented himself as an employee of Comcast when knocking on a door at 7pm last night at Beach Drive and Douglas Place.

Warm summer nights breeds opportunity for criminals when doors and windows are left open. In this case, Chris from Beach Drive was taking a nap when the stranger awoke him knocking on the door. I do encourage you to read the entire post at West Seattle Blog and to call the Police when you suspect something's not right.
Remember that storm in early June last year? I do…the spray from the salt savaged my tomato plants and several trees. Tonights blast of wind is pretty amazing too. I must admit, as someone who likes to share a "barking dog report" when the weather changes on us; this one caught me by surprise. One moment, I was enjoying a beautiful sunset with my husband on the deck… and then my Sister-in-Law calls from Woodmont to ask if the wind has hit us yet…during our call it did!
West Seattle Blog is reporting that parts of North Admiral may be out of power (our lights have flickered while writing this post).
Editors Note: I'm posting live from my laptop as I write this just in case we lose power, internet, etc.
All this hot sunny weather has had my "barking dog" reports taking a comfy snooze…but not Cliff Mass…his post from today says all Hell is breaking loose!

Tis the season for water rescues. Seattle Fire Department's Ladder 11 was just at Mee Kwa Mooks running a rescue drill.
Did you hear the bagpiper yesterday evening? He was playing at Emma Schmitz Memorial Viewpoint–treating nearby listeners with his solo concert. It was great timing as we were celebrating my sister's 40th birthday with family members.
Over a year ago, a Beach Drive Blog reader was curious who the "Beach Drive Bag-Piper" was…I understand this person is not the same musician. He did a great job–but I can tell you that he doesn't take request (at least not to play Happy Birthday).
