Possible home prowler
November 8, 2007 by Leave a Comment
I was just chatting with a Beach Drive neighbor on the 4600 block who told me about a situation we should all be aware of. Apparently the week before Halloween, she was washing her windows on the back side of her home when she noticed that someone had tried to pry open her windows with a tool, such as a screw driver.
She also made me aware of aggressive magazine sales people recently going door to door. She has ordered a "no solicitation" sign…I’ll find out where she’s ordering it from and update this post.
Just a reminder for us to keep an eye out for each other. If you have neighborhood crime you wish to report, please call 9-1-1 first…but do let BDB know so we can keep each other informed on the the lookout.
Young Eagle or Osprey?

I really can’t tell…I’m not an expert. I just happened to spy this bird when I was walking my dog a few moments ago.
Two Units Proposed to be Five on Beach Drive
November 4, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Last month I reported on a tear down on 3636 Beach Drive SW that surprised me. I do try to visit most of Beach Drive and keep an eye out for those yellow yard signs. That one I missed completely.
My neighbor, aka Cat Woman, brought to my attention a Notice of Application regarding this project. Here is a link to the application compliments of the Seattle Department of Planning and Development. The subdivision of lots is still pending approval and the city is hearing comments until November 11, 2007.
Another update on 3726 Beach Drive…the 1918 cottage looks like it will indeed become 4 unit property. Here is a link to the decision. The tearing down has not commenced on this old home yet.
