This morning a giant golden moon landed on the community of Manchester in Kitsap County.  Nobody was injured–just a lot of ooohs and ahhhhs.

Brunch at The Bohemian

Our family enjoyed a Saturday brunch at The Bohemian the other weekend.    They  P2280003 have a fun menu and the kids were thrilled with the French Toast stuffed with peanut butter and bananas. 

I enjoyed a smoked salmon eggs benedict and my husband had a delish cast-iron skillet with French press "drip" coffee.

The next time we go, I may have to try one of their crepes.P2280001

The Bohemian is located at 3405 California Avenue SW, Seattle, WA 98116.  Their phone number is 206-938-BOHO

They’re Ba-a-a-c-k! The Black Brants

A sure sign that Spring is on the way is when the Brants migrate to the Puget Sound.

Did You See a Bicycle Accident on Friday?

A West Seattle Blog reader is trying to find out what happened to her friend who was in a bicycle accident around 4100 and Beach Drive on Friday.

"He flipped over his handlebars, hit pavement, cracked his helmet, and, fortunately (given what could’ve resulted), is escaping with a broken collarbone and a concussion that has given him a headache but will eventually go away. Because of the concussion he doesn’t really remember what happened before or during (or for that matter, immediately after) the accident."

Car Break-In

Just found out today that sometime last week, someone broke into a neighbors truck around just south of Jacobsen on Beach Drive.  The vandal jammed the door lock and came up empty handed since there were no valuables in the vehicle to take.

Potential Whale Sightings

This from West Seattle Blog's Twitter:

caller says up to 20 whales headed south from Point No Point – so maybe they'll be seen off WS. (before dark? maybe?)
