Seattle Breast Cancer 3 Day
March 21, 2008 by Leave a Comment
You may have noticed a new button on the upper right corner of Beach Drive Blog… I’m supporting the memories of two of my friends and co-workers who have passed away from breast cancer. Michelle Brown was my dear friend and processor for almost six years…she passed last December and Tammy Swanberg was a fellow loan originator who passed a few years ago. Both of their surviving husbands are walking in their honor and I’m doing what I can to support them.
In addition to the link to donate on the blog…I’ll be sending out reminders prior to the big event. You may recall that last year, the last leg of the 3 Day event was also along Beach Drive to Alki. Many neighbors created "cheer stations" along the way by decorating their homes, providing water or snacks (like trick-or-treat bags of m&ms) or clapped and cheered on the many who marched on by. And the participants are quite a site to see.
It’s great fun and a wonderful "feel good" moment to get involved.

Someone Needs More Coffee

Perhaps its me. I was just driving along Beach Drive to take the kids to their bus stop when someone in a dark truck passed me. I was going 30 mph (a.k.a. the speed limit). After this person passed me, they actually slowed down to 20 mph. No one was behind or in front of us. And I’m not interested in passing anyone on Beach Drive or entering into a game of road rage. I just don’t get it.
I think I’m going to pour myself another cup of coffee when I get back home.
This post was written with my Treo…waiting at the bus stop with my kids.
Eats Market Cafe

I’ve been waiting to check out this highly reviewed restaurant in the heart of Westwood Village…the place was packed and after a ten minute wait (we cruised neighboring shops) we were seated. We decided to go for our favorite "brunch dish"
…Heuvos Racheros. Eats Market Cafe did a nice job…their Heuvos is completely different than Blackbird Bistro’s in West Seattle. Easts Market Cafe rest the eggs onto of a generous helping of black beans and salsa verde. The eggs are topped with home made guacamole.
I will have to return to sink my teeth into a Rueben–my favorite sandwich and Iunderstand they may have the best in Seattle. I’ll report back when I do.
Where is your favorite spot in West Seattle for breakfast?

Beach Drive Blog’s 500th Post
March 15, 2008 by 2 Comments
I won’t announce every time we reach a certain post…but this is a significant milestone in the life of a blog. Thanks again for everyone who reads, comments, lurks, sends photos and contributes to Beach Drive Blog by writing articles.
I’m always looking for Beach Drive neighbors who would like write about whatever is going on in your neighborhood along Beach Drive. The more active writers we have, the richer the content will be…and hey, as much as I love doing this…I certainly can’t do it all! (I do have a "real job" and a family to raise, too).
So I’m using this milestone as an opportunity to do a "shout out" the our neighbors–if you live in the neighborhood and would like to write for the blog–please let me know.
Here are some great examples of past posts from Beach Drive neighbors:

Community Yard Sale by Susan
Beach Drive’s Little Italy – LaRustica Restaurant by Natalie
There’s plenty to write about and we need you! Writing a "post" for a blog is just as easy a sending a friend an email. I promise!
