It’s Beach Drive Blogs 2nd Anniversary

Our first post started with this post and it's interesting to see what has changed and what has not.  I would still love to have other contributors from around the Beach Drive neighborhood.  We're located smack dab in the middle and to have folks reporting from the north and south ends would be very helpful. 

Beach Drive Blog mark's it's 2nd birthday with 775 posts!  

I would like to thank our readers, those of you who contribute via writing articles or emailing tips and by participating with your comments.   Thank you all!

Just seen in Puget Sound: USS John C. Stennis – CVN 74

Two Cute!

Beach Drive Blog Pet of the Week has created a fast friendship between two featured pups.  This email is in from Patricia:

"Thanks to Beach Drive Blog the two local Portuguese Water Dogs are now buddies!  We've met a couple of times and they've had so much fun! They recognised the family connection immediately!  Two cute dogs having fun!!!!"
You can see the original posts of the puppy pals by clicking here and here.

Car Ransacked at 4800 Block of Beach Drive Last Night

This reminder to keep our cars locked (and valuables out of site–or better yet, out of our cars) just came in from Lynn:

"Heads-up 4800 block of Beach Drive S.W., our vehicle was ransacked last night (Sunday). The car was parked in our driveway 3 feet from our house, and I forgot to lock it.   Fortunately nothing of value was in the car, and the perpetrators didn't like our taste in music.
Remember to lock your car!"

Even if a crime seems small, please do call it in to the Seattle Police.  This is how we get more police patroling our neighborhood.   The non-emergency line for the Seattle Police is (206) 625-5011.

Oh Christmas Tree…Oh Christmas Tree…

When will Seattle Public Utilities pick up your Christmas tree?  According to West Seattle Blog and SPU website, not until your next scheduled yard waste pick up.  I cannot remember the last time my yard waste was removed (which is also packed full of allowed food).  

Tomorrow, we're scheduled for recycle to be picked up.  Yard waste will not be picked up at our home for another week.

To search your address to see whether or not you have yard waste and can toss your tree to the curb, click here.

My shakey hands produced a photo that I think is appropriate for New Years Eve.  Happy New Years!
