More like a whimper, or as Steve Pool said on tonight’s weather report on KOMO-4, consider this a "knock on the door" of weather to come. 

From KOMO’s site (5:30 pm update):

Did you know that today, Sunday, September 28, 2008 is National Good Neighbor Day?

Good Neighbor Day started in Montana in 1971 by Mrs. Mattson.  On September 18, 2008, the Senate passed a resolution recoginzing the importance of National Good Neighbor Day.  (They must have passed this in their spare time).

If your neighbors are anything like ours, this will be a very easy day to celebrate!

Late Night Police Activity on Beach Drive

September 20, 2008 by 2 Comments

I’m not totally sure of what’s going on but at Jacobson and Beach Drive (approx.) there are some minors that have been pulled over and are sitting on the sidewalk with two Police cars.   They’ve been here for quite a while and at one point, a neighbor reports they saw Police searching up Jacobsen with a dog.

Hopefully we’ll have more info to follow up with.   If you have any details, please comment and let us know.

Did You See Green Suburu Speeding on Beach Drive?

September 19, 2008 by Leave a Comment

This just in…I’ll update this post as I get more information.  Keep an eye out for a green Suburu Forester with a broker mirror.

"….as my son was loading up his car this morning along Beach Dr, a green Subaru Forester was speeding by and actually hit the door of our car, (just missing my son) and broke off the Forester’s outside mirror.    Of course the speeding car did not stop. Unfortunately my son did not get a license plate number."

Update: the broken mirror is on the Suburu’s passenger side and the event happened on the 6500 block of Beach Drive.   If you spot a car matching this description, please contact the Seattle Police Department.
