All about the West Seattle neighborhood around Beach Drive
This photo is another contribution from BDB reader, Linda. She took this photo "from the balcony of the condo we rented at the Harbor Steps downtown. We had an incredible view. It was an awesome Seattle vacation!"
Since view of Mount Rainier includes Qwest Field…I thought it was only appropriate to post this on gameday! GO HAWKS!
Linda, a BDB reader, has kindly sent over more photos of a bald eagle enjoying some lunch. Thanks again for sharing!
Just a reminder that the Northwest Hope & Healing Half Marathon & 5k Run/Walk is taking place tomorrow. Part of the route includes Beach Drive. I did a half-marathon a few years ago and the cheering fans was a great much needed support.
A Beach Drive Blog reader reports:
"…as I was walking my dog this morning I saw a brightly colored beach chair, folded, with a pair of prescription glasses hanging over its back, leaning on the railing above the beach at Constellation Park. The glasses were misted over; had been there awhile. The chair was across from a building with the number 3306 (just north of the sewage treatment plant). I know you post items about missing pets; don’t know if that’s true for missing eyewear!"
According to my husband, this honor should go to The Bamboo Bar & Grill for their Steak Nachos. We shared a plate the other night when we went to Alki to see Lady Liberty return to her home.
The nachos are as good as they look. The steak is tender, guac’s great. Lots of fresh toppings and plenty of cheese.
We’ve been pretty happy with the food at Bamboo Grill.
My water glass (water was all I was drinking) was never refilled. Their service was pretty slow…so if you’re coming for the grub, have patience…prepare yourself for a wait (as you may do at many restaurants along Alki).
Bamboo Bar and Grill is located at 2806 Alki Avenue SW, Seattle. (206) 937-3023.
What the heck? When we were at Alki last night to check out Lady Liberty, I noticed that Sunfish was dark and empty. On their door, they have this sign:
Does anyone know what’s up? Our last post about Sunfish was about a recent review that stated they have some of the best fish-n-chips in Seattle.
UPDATE: THEY ARE ON VACATION AND WILL RETURN (AS THE SIGN SAYS) ON OCTOBER 11. I can’t wait!
Someone tanning themselves nearby stated that it was a pretty large fight between a group of young men. One van load was hauled away.
This home is just a block off of Beach Drive at 56th and Jacobsen. I was surprised to learn last night that it was being torn down. It was purchased by a builder in March of this year for $727,500. The permit states this will be a two story, taking full advantage of the view. Wish I had a "before" picture…I never saw the "yellow sign".
UPDATE 9/16/2007: According the builder (we met at a friend’s home); they plan on living in the home once it’s complete.
