It was just last week when Benjamin Kinlow , Crime Prevention Coordinator, was at our preliminary Block Watch Meeting…one of his suggestions was for us to purchase and install "No Solicitation" signs.
Great Wine for such a bargin
October 8, 2007 by Leave a Comment
2004 Mazzaron is a Tempranillo from Spain.
We have really enjoyed this smokey red wine–it’s ready to drink now.
Robert Parker has rated it at 88 points. Stephen
Tanzer gave this an 89. Wine Spector was stingy with 86 points. We would rate it at least 88, if not 89.
Last I checked, it was on sale at Metropolitan Market for just over $12.00!
It’s such a bargin, we just had to share it with you!

Just off of Beach Drive on Snoqualimie Street, a lost Husky is being cared for. If you’re missing this pet, please contact Suky.
Here is a list of resources (you can also find this link on the left side of BDB) if you have a found or missing pet.
Beach Drive Blog is always happy to reunite pets and their families. Thanks to Suky for the heads up.
Mee Kwa Mooks Park Celebration
October 6, 2007 by Leave a Comment
I can’t think of a nicer way to spend a Saturday morning than to learn some history about a neighborhood park and an original West Seattle family. This morning a new sign was unveiled for Mee Kwa Mooks and a Emma and Ferninad Schmitz grandchild., Alan, was present to give first hand stories of life at the Schmitz home.
It’s hard to believe that this home was torn down. Just north of the park, if you look up the long driveway, the white house that is currently there replaced the Schmitz home pictured here.
Mee Kwa Mooks Park is expanisve. What a generous gift from the Emma and Ferninad Schmitz.
Update: Here are more photos from the event.
West Seattle Blog’s videos of the unveiling.
Update 10/16/2007: Read West Seattle Herald’s story about this event.

I spied a rooster in Mee Kwa Mooks Park on Thursday morning. I suppose I’ll learn more about this fella on Saturday morning at 10:30 a.m. when the mysteries of Mee Kwa Mooks are revealed!
Another Tear Down on Beach Drive

I didn’t see this one coming. This use to be a small colorful cottage that sat back on the lot located on the 3600 block of Beach Drive. I’m sorry to say, I don’t have a “before picture” only a “during”.
Sorry Fido…Off leash is unlikely in Lincoln Park
October 4, 2007 by Leave a Comment
A BDB reader submitted this email to the City:
"Hi, I was wondering if there has ever been any discussion on adding an off-leash dog area to Lincoln Park. I live about five minutes away and no that as well as myself many of my fellow neighbors would love for an off-leash doggy play area to be added…Can you please update me or let me know what I can do to petition getting an off-leash dog area at Lincoln Park."
Here is the response:
There are no plans for an off-leash area at Lincoln Park. There are several factors that make an off-leash area there unlikely.
We strive for fair distribution of off-leash areas city-wide. West Seattle has an off-leash area at Westcrest Park, while some areas—Queen Anne and Magnolia—still have none.
The possibility of siting an off-leash area at Lincoln Park has come up in the past, but the citizen group that takes a lead stewardship role with the park, Friends of Lincoln Park, strongly opposed the idea. As well, the fact that Lincoln Park is an Olmsted-influenced makes it less likely that an off-leash area could be approved there.
Currently there is no money budgeted for an off-leash area. If you would like to petition for money to be added to the budget for new off-leash areas, you can contact the office of City Councilmember David Della who is chair of the Parks, Education, Libraries and Labor Committee. His e-mail address is david.della@seattle.gov
Thank you for your inquiry!
Best,
Laurie Dunlap
Superintendent’s Office, Seattle Parks and Recreation
As a side note, The Friends of Lincoln Park are looking for volunteers this Saturday to remove invasive plants.
