All about the West Seattle neighborhood around Beach Drive
One neighbors major pruning can be another neighbors holiday arrangement. The Burkholders, owners of Screamer Hats (we could all wear a Screamer Hat today–brrrr) say the neighbors are welcome to prune some holly from their downed holly tree. You’ll find this tree near the south end of Emma Schmitz Memorial Viewpoint.
Happy Thanksgiving to your family from ours!
Free energy saving light bulbs while available at Admiral Metropolitan Market along with the re-usable grocery bags (which require a purchase of $50 or more which hard to do at Met Market). Published live from my Treo.
With camera crew in tow. Valet parking is available today at Admiral Metropolitan Market to accommodate the crescendo of holiday shoppers.

I’m not exactly sure what the US Army Corps of Engineers is doing in the Puget Sound right now (just south of Emma Schmitz Memorial View Point)…but it makes for some interesting photos.
Trulia Hindsight is an interesting internet tool that shows you when homes where built within a specific area using pop-up color coded dots over a map.
EarthCorps, Seattle Parks and Recreation, MudUp and the Green Seattle Partnership are working together to keep Mee Kwa Mooks "happy and healthy" along with the Friends of Mee Kwa Mooks.
"….by removing damaging invasive plant species, planting native plants, and taking care of past forest restoration sites, we help preserve our natural areas for generations to come!"
Thank you to all of the those dedicated individuals volunteering in our Seattle weather to keep our parks enjoyable.

I received this email from a Beach Drive neighbor concerned about suspicious car at Mee Kwa Mooks Park:
"This morning at 5:45ish I was out for a morning walk/run and noticed a early 90’s/late 80’s (4) door model Mazda Protégé. It was a dark maroon color. Their were people sitting in there and the car was running. I believe they may have been sleeping; however, they did not move their car until 11:40ish. I had literally just decided I was going to go and get the license plate number just to hang on to….For all of the “suspicious” activity with car prowlers and attempted break ins I just thought I might spread the word… thanks."
Benjamin Kinlow, Community Crime Prevention Coordinator suggests:
"…keep a record of suspicious person and vehicles. I am including an attachments [see below] to help you with keeping a record. If you see vehicles at this location serval times a week, then I can let the Community Police Team Officer know and request patrol check the park every day."

Hat tip (or should I say I raise my glass) to West Seattle Blog; I haven’t ventured outside in this wind yet to pick up my weekend paper and they’ve all ready posted on an article featuring Beach Drive neighbors, Scott and Susan Lipskey’s wine cellar.
I imagine that there are many wine cellars along Beach Drive of all shapes, sizes and ages. Do you have a wine cellar? We have one that is rumored to be from prohibition days. One of these days I may share some photos or write a little about it.
Note: I meant to publish this post back on Nov. 11…it slipped by me somehow.
