All about the West Seattle neighborhood around Beach Drive
I just received this email:
Not sure where to post this, but I just saw what I think was a ferret at about 5PM on the corner of 50th and Edmunds St.It stopped and looked at me as I drove by, so I’m thinking it might have been domesticated. I believe it was brown and white.
This photo is from along Mee Kwa Mooks Park.
On a side note, but somewhat related, did anyone else find that their car was hit with the white spray from when the DOT sprayed the roads recently?

The suspect was caught…it happened this afternoon in a "secure" condo. To get the full scoop, read about it on West Seattle Blog.
At the Seattle Night Out event last month, the SPD mentioned that many burglaries happen during warmer weather because of people leaving doors and windows unlocked. In fact, they warned of increased incidents where people were gardening in their front yards while someone would sneak in through the back and snatch a purse (or something else quick). I have no idea if this is what happened this afternoon. At the very least, it’s a reminder for all of us.
I spied this Jellyfish (which looks like a sunny side up egg, to me) while the USS Kitty Hawk was cruising to Bremerton the other morning.

Earlier this year we had issues with some of our older plumbing in our home built in 1928. I called various plumbers we had worked with in the past and since it was cast iron steam pipes–no one wanted to touch it with a ten foot pipe pole.
The only company that we could find who was happy to remedy our situation was Northwest Mechanical. They did a great job, it was done on time and for what was quoted. I hope your old steam pipes never fail you, but if they do, you may want to remember this local company.
If I’m not mistaken, this is the historic USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) which was seen moments ago in Puget Sound waters.
The Barn Swallows, I’ve been writing about, have been living in a home that looks like is a flip on Beach Drive. Today, some of the people who have been doing a few of the improvements on this property re-appeared to weed and tidy up the listing and in the process, removed their nest.
I know it’s not quite a tear down on a human scale. I’m just listening to the birds chirp like crazy right now wondering what on earth happened to their humble home. Hopefully it was time for the Barn Swallows to move on anyhow.
