Warning: Beach Drive Homes “Cased” by Phoney “Window Salesmen”
February 13, 2009 by 2 Comments
I received theses tip from Beach Drive Neighbors:
Around the corner of Jacobsen and Beach Drive, a few police officers stopped by her house this afternoon [2/12] and asked if she had noticed anyone "casing" their house or had there been any unusual activity near her house. She had just woke from a nap and was surprised to see them but alert enough to tell them that she did have an unusual experience last night [2/11]. A couple young men came to her door at 7pm selling windows, when she said she was not interested they asked for cookies, when she said she had none they asked for a glass of water, she closed the door and got them a water cup to go. When she returned with the cup one man was there and the other was not…
another neighbor reports that:
they stopped by his house as well and clearly were not window sales people.
Just a reminder that we need to look out for each other. If you notice anything suspicious, call 9-1-1.
A big thanks to the neighbor who notified me of this activity.
Snow!

Well at least it's just a dusting along Beach Drive…it certainly should not be enough snow to delay our scheduled garbage pick up!
Worse case scenario, you may some ice on your windshields to contend with this morning.
We still have snow in the forecast for Seattle for tonight and tomorrow morning.

Just south of Jacobsen on Beach Drive, the road is being jack-hammerred in order to repair a pipeline from a home. I'm told the work should be complete today.
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?
Beach Drive Neighbors in “the News”

Kind of a stretch to call this news…but…at Beach Drive Blog, a “slow news” day is happily the norm. The Seattle PI recently addressed the removal of mailboxes in Seattle that are receiving less than 25 pieces of mail a day…yours truly along with other neighbors were quoted here.
Regardless of our feelings, the mailbox at Beach Drive and Jacobsen is gone. The USPS states this is cost-saving move:
“Fewer boxes mean fewer gas-guzzling trips to pick up the mail and fewer carriers to empty the boxes.”
It seems to me that the mail carriers who currently service our neighborhood could have easily stopped by to pick up “less than 25 pieces of mail” each day eliminating the other mail carrier that serviced that mail box.
Could be time to invest in a locking mail box, if you don’t have one all ready.
UPSP also needs to update their website with where the nearest collection boxes are.
