A Huge Thanks to Everyone Who Help Find Orson
July 4, 2008 by Leave a Comment
A huge thank you to the couple who found my old pug, Orson, last night. I had thought I had our house locked up when I went next door to the neighbors to watch last nights sunset while our two fools husbands were boating.
When I returned home, Orson was no where to be found. I began to walk up and down Beach Drive calling for my dog with no luck…my neighbor (aka Beach Drive Babbler) had a couple in a car drive by ask what the commotion about. The Babbler asked them to keep a look out for an old pug wander the streets. By now I’m pretty upset because Orson has more heart than brains and very poor vision with his one "good eye". While I was searching for him I saw raccoon a running down Jacobson–
bigger and meaner than my dog…definitely more "street savvy". I’m panicked.
Just as I began to fall apart, the car pulls up and out jumps a very excited Orson. Apparently he had made it all the way to La Rustica (it figures he’d search out food). I’m so sorry that I don’t remember the nice couple’s names–I was pretty emotional.
Orson now thinks he’s a "super dog" or at least a puppy again after his late night adventure. He’s barking and growling (feeling tough) more than usual and keeps looking at me like he should have constant treats.
A big heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped find my old friend, Orson.

Another Beach Drive Tear Down

This property is located at 6321 Beach Drive SW and just received approval to be torn down.
Just a year ago in July, King County public records show that this home sold for 2.1 million and that last month, the City of Seattle required the current owners to record a covenant, acknowledgment of risk and indemnity agreement in a "potential land slide area".

Announcing Beach Drive Blog Neighborhood Referral List
July 1, 2008 by Leave a Comment
How many times have you needed a referral for a service or have hired help that you would like to recommend? Well I’ve done enough emailing around and also have been asked by neighbors myself…"hey, who do you know that…"
It’s time to add a new resource to Beach Drive Blog: The Beach Drive Blog Neighborhood Referral Resource web-page.
We are not limited by the categories that are listed. Who has provided excellent service or is a valuable resource that our neighbors may appreciate or need? Please share! In order to go on the resource page, we need the following:
- Contact/Company Name
- Contact info (phone number, email, web)
- Testimonial is not required but is a nice feature. Just a short sentence on why you willing to recommend this person/company
- Recommended by…again, not required but the referral will carry more significance if we know who it’s coming from. Check out the new page and you’ll see what we have so far.
The people you recommend should be someone who’s service you have personally used–or it can even be you! By the way, if there’s all ready something in a category that you would like to refer someone too–that’s perfectly fine. The "blank categories" are resources that I’m often asked for referrals to. I look forward to your emails for recommendations to add to this neighborhood resource!
Beach Drive Neighborhood Referrals is located under "Beach Drive Neighbors" on the left side of this blog.
