All about the West Seattle neighborhood around Beach Drive
Thanks to BD neighbor, Kathleen, for contributing this photo of a Pileated Woodpecker. She captured this shot west of the Mee Kwa Mooks greenbelt in a Cherry Tree.
As I was just talking with Tracy of WSB during our Rain City Guide Radio show (more to follow) it reminded me of a hysterical post that West Seattle Blog had about a woodpecker…to read it (don’t miss the comments) click here.

Update: Listen to West Seattle Blog’s Tracy Record’s interview by clicking the link below.
Earlier a neighbor reported how their car was smashed along Beach Drive with no note or contact from the "guilty party". Just this morning, on my way home from the grocery store I was stunned to see someone drove through Emma Schmitz Memorial View Point. Smashing a park bench, taking out a bus stop sign and ripping apart bushes along the street. A resident said she heard it happen last night but did not see the car.
It’s amazing the vehicle was able to drive away and must have significant damage.
A gentleman who works for the parks department just happened to drive by and stood the bus sign up. There is glass all over the road from the damaged vehicle. Both the Seattle Parks Department and Police Department have been notified.
Update: WSB reports in the comments below that there was a 911 "aid" call at 4:02 am. Unsure if someone actually hit and ran–sounds like someone might have been rescued.
All the sirens last night were for an apartment building that had caught fire at 3821 Beach Drive…the good news is that no one was injured. To read more and see photos, check out West Seattle Blog’s coverage.

At the south end of Emma Schmitz Memorial View Point at the base of Jacobsen and Beach Drive, part of Beach Drive is blocked off for a sewer inspection by King County.
It’s a crappy job…but somebody’s got to do it. Sorry, I just can’t help myself (even though I should).
It appears this morning the Seattle DOT is replacing the public signs that were tagged with graffiti. If you notice graffiti remaining after this morning, you may want to contact the proper authorities. The City of Seattle has an on-line resource for reporting graffiti here.
If graffiti is on your private property, it is your responsibility to promptly remove it so that it does not encourage more tagging.
Beach Drive Blog is not showing photographs of graffiti on this site. This only promotes and possibly encourages the punks by publicizing their vandalism.
You can even see the top of the light house. This amazing photo was taken by my husband.
