All about the West Seattle neighborhood around Beach Drive
You may have noticed a tour bus with a large group wandering along the waterfront of Mee Kwa Mooks down to Beach Drive and Jacobsen. Apparently it is a group of American and Japanese geologist studying earthquakes and tsunami’s and they stopped here for a tour before beginning their conference. The geologist that I briefly taked to stated that they are interested in this area because of the similarities to California and Japan.
If you see her, please donate canned goods to keep her spirits calm and charitable.

Orson and I bump into Ruby during our walks. I can confirm that she is one big sweetheart. But don’t take my word for it, here’s her photo and what her humans have to say about her.
This is Ruby our Bulldog. She’s almost 6 years old but still acts like a puppy. She loves hide and go seek, swimming, obstacle courses (paints a picture doesn’t it) and chasing her rubber chicken . She is working to be a therapy dog and is a huge people lover. You’ll see her walking with Gail or Jodie along the park many times a day. Feel free to stop and pet her – she’s very friendly!!
This windy rainy day should be enough to remind us of how serious our winter weather can be. The Seattle of City along with King County and Puget Sound Energy have teamed up to create a website to help bring awareness to what the public can do (and not do) in nasty weather.
We do our best with "barking dog reports" to let you know when we’re preparing to hunker down at our home. Now’s as good as time as any to make sure you have what you need in the event of a big storm where we possibly lose power or flood. Perhaps you’d like to adopt a drain to help out the streets in our neighborhood?
He’s 12 years old, conveniently deaf or blind (when it suits him), skitzo, sweet and lovable…he’s mine.
Please don’t make me resort to more of my pets…I’d love to feature your Beach Drive pet as Pet of the Week…just send me their photo and bio.
During October, Beach Drive Blog will be in the pink to recognize National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
How can you help?
I’ve written about speeders on Beach Drive before so you can imagine my glee that we now have one of those flashing spedometers across from Emma Schmits View Point. I just noticed it while walking the pooch. More to follow.
Update ~ October 9, 2008 8:30 am: Out for my morning walking of the dog…I can hear cars slowing down as the approach the automated speed limit sign. It’s working!
This motor boat broke loose from it’s buoy sometime last night following a few days of wind and waves. Luckily handsome man and his brave son were able to rescue the boat which was found in front of Mee Kwa Mooks.
Wait a second, that’s no handsome man, that’s my husband! (ba-da-dum) Okay, I’m not Rodney Dangerfield.
I sincerely do thank our kind neighbor who let us know that our boat was not where it was suppose to be.
