All about the West Seattle neighborhood around Beach Drive
Is your Beach Drive home, pets, pumpkins or tiny goblin all tricked out for Halloween? Please share your frightening photos and we’ll post them here on Beach Drive Blog.
PS: We’re still having our quasi photo contest where your Beach Drive photos will be shared as our Facebook header…I admit, we’ve been a little slow in posting new headers. I’ve popped up a Halloween photo from last year and will unveil a new photo from one of our readers after Halloween. Please keep your photos coming!
BOO!!
I ventured to West Seattle Thriftway around 5:30 tonight to pick up some Uli’s Sausages to grill while watching the World Series… and what did I spy? THE SUN AND BLUE SKY!!
We’ve been so socked in thick fog this past week, I thought I’d share my view driving home just past True Value Hardware… back to the fog.
I was a bit surprised to see a few boats still on their moorage buoys this afternoon. Past Septembers have been pretty mild as far as wind & waves but this one’s a different story. Tonight’s forecast of an all out storm fits weather patterns in November thru February rather than a summer month.
High tide of 10.08 takes place at 2:48 this afternoon… so we may be dodging the opportunity to flood. The wind warning is in effect starting 5:00 pm tonight at which point, tides will be around 8 feet. The next high tide of 8.28 will be at 1:54 am.
I was caught on the West Seattle Bridge late this afternoon in an amazing display of Mother Nature’s force. It was more rain, wind and water than I have ever witnessed on the bridge. I’m very glad to be home!
Well the first high tide took place a couple hours ago. We’re now bracing for the next high tide which is a 10.94 at 7:12 pm tonight.
Weather guru Cliff Mass says the first big fall storm should start right about the time that summer is officially over, at 1:44 pm Sunday which coincides with the kick off for the Seahawks vs Jaguars at Qwest field.
This is our first entry to our photo contest which we announced earlier this month. The modest photographer, Alexa, says, “Lol, not the best since from my phone but I love it.”
We love it too, Alexa and it’s the new “header” on our Facebook page until we announce the next photo contest winner.
Would you like to have your photo proudly represent Beach Drive on our Facebook page (www.fb.com/beachdriveblog)?
It’s easy! Here are the basic rules:
It’s all about having fun with neighbors in the beautiful part of the world we call home.
Congrats, Alexa and thank you for your entry!
Last Sunday we had “Blue Thunder” for the Seahawks game…and it looks like this Sunday will bring howling weather as the National Weather Service has issued a Special Weather Statement for the first official day of fall. It’s probably a good idea to make sure what leaves are currently around drains are cleared (although we’re going to have plenty more coming down).
A neighbor notified us that around midnight, they saw a young man appear to be going through a car on the 4700 block of Beach Drive. When the neighbors approached the vehicle, which he had opened the car doors of, he ran across the street to his silver min-van and sped off. The police were about this incident.
If for nothing else, this can serve as a reminder to lock your car doors and keep valuables out of sight (or better yet, out of your cars) to deter criminals.
