1st Quarter Home Sales

This is a new feature for Beach Drive Blog.    BDB will be reporting quarterly closings for homes in the neighborhood.   Again, I’m not a real estate agent… I just think this may be interesting information for our readers.   I would LOVE it if one of our Beach Drive agents would volunteer to take this on (hint hint).

Beach Drive’s Little Italy – La Rustica Restaurant

If you don’t feel like fighting for a table at Beach Drive’s only restaurant, La Rustica, order to go! The other night we enjoyed Lamb Shank, Spaghetti, Salad, Cannelloni, and their famous bread in our living room. We saved the pizza for later! 

In usual La Rustica style, everything was fantastic. We think the  balsamic braised Lamb Shank is one of the best things one can eat in West Seattle. Maybe you have smelled it cooking while on an evening walk?  FYI, the order taker said 25 minutes but it turned out to be an hour.

Beach Walk and Treasure Hunt

Img_5022I was asked from Stephanie at People for Puget Sound to post an upcoming event for BDB readers.    On Sunday, April 22, 2007 from 1:30 – 4:00, you can go on a low tide beach walk along Beach Drive.    

Kids are encouraged to join in the fun by bringing trash bags to pick up litter which they can then create recycled art and win prizes!

This event begins at Charles Richey Sr. Viewpoint (Constellation Park)  63rd Ave SW and Beach Drive SW.      

Space is limited for this event, please RSVP.    What a great way to celebrate Earth Day.
