Video of last nights fireworks off Beach Drive

Lots of oohs, ahs and wows took place last night watching the beautiful fireworks display that took place off the shores of Beach Drive by Me Kwa Mooks Park.

Don’t be Alarmed! Last Resort Fire Dept. just chill’n at Mee-Kwa-Mooks

Vintage fire trucks and crew take some time to relax after cruising the West Seattle parade earlier today…

Getting ready for the fireworks show at 10PM tonight?

It’ll be boom city this Saturday at 10PM for a 10 minute show of barged-in fireworks. Tuxedo and Tennis Shoes has given notice via West Seattle Blog about the brief show taking place off the 4500 block of Beach Drive. I know our dog Scupper will be looking for ducks falling out of the sky.  Hope everyone’s pets around the vicinity (just north of Mee-Kwa-Mooks) take it in stride!

Have a FUN and SAFE Independence Day… and SPD Safety Newsletter

From our home to yours, we wish you a fun filled and safe Independence Day!

Speaking of “safe”, you’ll want to read the latest Seattle Police Department Community Newsletter (click here) .  Apparently someone who works for Comcast on contract, driving one of their trucks, had used his position at Comcast to scope out a house for a possible burglary. If you have not made an appointment for Comcast (or any service) and they show up at your door, lock the door and call Comcast (or the company) to verify that service is needed BEFORE letting them in your home.

The SPD newsletter also has important summertime crime prevention tips… and a reminder for Seattle Night Out which is on August 6th this year.

If you have a Seattle Night Out event planned in your Beach Drive neighborhood, feel free to post in on our Facebook page or let us know – we’re happy to help promote it.

Happy 4th! 🙂

LOST Keys

Did you find a set of keys? This just in from one our readers:

I lost a set of keys Sunday afternoon around the restrooms at Alki and 63rd St on Sunday at about 4:45 pm. There are several car keys on a red key anchor with WWU. Any help would be appreciated.

Please comment below if you found these keys.

Thunder storm disrupts cocktail hour on Beach Drive -THE AFTERMATH-

On the bright side, those that didn’t reset their clocks as soon as the power returned were treated to an extra half hour! For others it was reason for concern…

I spoke to one of the guys on the job this morning about any concerns of heavy rainfall on the Atlas slide zone: “I definitely gave it a thought!”

Rhonda Porter of BDB captured these weather shots after the storm cleared
