Beach Drive closed at Jacobsen


Beach_drive_closed_at_jacobsen_3

Road closed due to the mud slide down on 6000 block of Beach Drive.

A Good Reason for Pet Tags: Gretta

On our way to check out the mudslide, we saw this dog who seemed a bit lost (and very wet).   Thankfully, Gretta had a name tag on with phone numbers and her address so we were able to return her where she belongs.    Her humans were glad to know she was out and made arrangements to for someone to meet her and get her inside her home.

Mudslide on Beach Drive

West Seattle Blog reports there’s a mudslide around the 6000 block of Beach Drive.  I’m on my way out now to check it out.  Photos to follow soon.

Update:  Here are some photos of the mudslide…not too far from where we mentioned earlier.

Street closed at Alaska/Fauntleroy and Gee/Huling Motors

Not Beach Drive, I know, but my husband just called me to me to say the road is blocked Img121 off with police and flares everywhere in front of "Gee/Huling" at Alaska and Fauntleroy. I’ll contact WSB to see if they know what’s going on.

Barking Dog Report: High Winds and Waves

Istock_000002610704medium_1 West Seattle Blog just published a wind advisory from the National Weather Service from 10 pm tonight until 4 pm Monday.

The Barking Dog is published (since that’s what my husband affectionately calls me) when I’m concerned about the weather, waves…etc.   

Here are the current reports that I’m reviewing causing me to howl:

This practically in the same location where trees came crashing down in the big wind storm last year on Beach Drive.    

It’s Snowing!

Video to follow soon…if I can figure this flippin’ thing out!
