Just a neighborly reminder that all day today, Tully’s is donating 20% of all store revenue to support the JP Patches statue fund and Children’s Hospital. Drink up!
Timber….

WSB just posted information about a bunch of trees that are slated to come down over Beach Drive, below a house on Atlas…to read more, click here.
Update June 18, 2007…I just came across this article in the Seattle PI about how Seattle is trying to protect trees.
Some of the damaged West Seattle trees were on private land; others were within the Me-Kwa-Mooks Park southeast of Alki Point.
City leaders are trying to re-green Seattle by saving older trees and planting new ones on public and private property. But it’s an uphill battle to grow the city’s tree canopy. The amount of tree cover in Seattle has withered from 40 percent in 1972 to about 18 percent today, city officials said.

I can’t imagine the photos passengers on the party boat have of the sub just passing through the Puget Sound last night.
Low and High Tides

This photo was captured yesterday pretty close to the low tide of -3.7.
High tide was 12.0. This weekend features some of the lowest tides of the year! If you’re not going to the Fremont Fair to celebrate the Summer Solstice…hanging out at home and walking the beach is a very nice option.
Beach Drive Condo Comparison

Redfin recently did a comparison of what a couple of condos on Beach Drive sold for…if you would like to read more, click here.
I’m not sure what side of the street the units are on (some address numbers are odd and others are even).
Team Up with Tully’s for JP and Children’s Hospital
June 12, 2007 by Leave a Comment
On Tuesday, June 19, 2007…all day long…Tully’s will donate 20% of all store revenue to support the JP Patches statue fund and Children’s Hospital.
Please support your local clown and Puget Sound treasure. We have Tully’s conveniently on Alki and Fauntleroy in West Seattle.
Or…you can purchase a Patches Pal Paver and have your name along side 
this beautiful statue to be located in Fremont. The statue will have JP and long time friend, Gertrude standing next to ICU2 TV. The TV will have a slot to accept donations for Children’s Hospital and any surplus funds raised to build the statue will also benefit Children’s.
These photos are from the unveiling of the future statue that took place earlier this year during February in Fremont.
My husband surprised me the following month when JP Patches appeared at my 
birthday party! Yes…obviously, I’m a Patches Pal. And I (along with many) adore JP. I remember watching him on KIRO in the wee hours of the morning before school and getting to watch him again after school. I always looked forward to seeing him. JP Patches show aired from 1958 to 1981 entertaining and teaching many of us Puget Sound Natives in our younger days.
Don’t be a Gorrrssssst…support JP! Besides…your donations are tax deductible.

I was really after a partial rainbow that appears to be over the Fauntleroy Ferry… the photo did not turn out as I had hoped…this one is from the sunset tonight.
Sweet dreams.
