All about the West Seattle neighborhood around Beach Drive
This just in:
Missing poodle mix !!! He is in a foster home and the leash slipped out of their hands!
He is wearing his collar, leash, harness and has his microchip tag on him!!!!
Please call 208-320-2590
He was lost in the area near 35th and Barton.. They lost sight of him near Fauntleroy Park.
Charlie was last spotted Tuesday evening at 9:30 pm at 44th & Cambridge. He ran back into the park.
Update 9:30AM Found the hound!
Thanks to several Beach Drive neighbors… Charlotte, Judy, Kevin, Jeff, guy with stroller, lady with dogs, passing cars with sightings, etc. we managed to track Brownie down and reunite him with relieved owners.
Original Post…
Reports are coming in of a puppy who looks to be about 40 pounds and a lab-sheppard mix, running scared around Jacobson and Beach Drive. He is too frightened to come when called.
UPDATE: Fiona has been happily reunited with her human.
Fiona is a black and white kitten who has been missing from the Beach Drive area since February 20th. You may have seen some of her flyers posted along Beach Drive.
Jacobson was closed due to a leaning tree that is in the process of coming down.
Hopefully Jacobson is re-opened by the time you read this post!
It seems so calm right now, it’s hard to believe we could have waves splashing over bulkheads over the next 24 hours.
Our next high tide is a 10.19 at 4:46 pm tonight…just after the gale warning is in effect. Marine forecast (below) currently has waves building to 4-6 feet in the afternoon starting from the NE and switching to SW in the evening.
The high tide following that is 11.72 at 6:00 am Sunday morning. Marine forecast is for waves of 3 to 5 feet from the SW.
We’re making sure our pumps are ready…just in case.
We are “on watch” for the weather this weekend because of the high tides along big winds that are heading our way. Hopefully everything simmers down before the weekend – however, it’s always best to be prepared for worst case scenario. It’s looking like a good weekend to cuddle up with your Valentine…after making sure you have enough gas for your trash pump, generator is working and you have spare candles.
We’ve been watching a large sea lion floating off the shores of Beach Drive for the last couple hours. You may not even notice him as he looks like a log for a majority of the time…until he lifts his big head for some air.
We did contact Seal Sitters, as I’m told others have as well, and were told that he is probably “sailing” (also referred to as “logging”) to reserve energy during this cold weather. If he does come to shore or seems in distress, the person at Seal Sitters asked that they be called again.
We’re getting a dusting of snow along Beach Drive. I just took this photo moments ago.
The National Weather Service forecast just a little accumulation of that white stuff overnight.
Tonight: Snow likely. Cloudy, with a low around 31. North northeast wind 5 to 10 mph becoming east southeast in the evening. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.
Sunday: A chance of rain and snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 41. South southeast wind 5 to 8 mph becoming calm in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.
I love snow on the weekend that melts away. 🙂
Given all the depressing news about sea-star populations wasting away in Puget Sound (as well as along many other west coast shorelines), I thought I would check for myself during this afternoon’s low tide. I snapped this pic at a large rock formation located at the edge of the 2.5 tide…
I didn’t have time to count all the toes but I can report that all the arms of these stars looked perfectly healthy!

As you can probably tell, we are very excited about tomorrow’s big game and look forward to adding another NFC Championship banner.
…I must confess – we have our Christmas tree still up… and we are leaving it up until we win the Super Bowl – the ornaments are down (we have a new puppy who was having too much fun them)… it’s only silly if it doesn’t work. Right?
How are you celebrating tomorrow’s big game?
GO HAWKS!!
