UPDATE June 1, 2013: Good news! The owenr of the RAV 4 has been located.
We received this message from a Beach Drive neighbor:
“Did you have a Toyota Rav 4 parked on the west side of Beach Drive in the 4100 block on Friday night, May 24? We damaged that car. The note we put on the car was removed early on Saturday morning. We have filed an insurance claim and want to cover damages. Please contact us through the Beach Drive Blog.”
Please send us an email or comment below if your the owner of the Rav R. Thank you!
What a beautiful day to see the USS John C. Stennis navigate back home to Bremerton. Here are a few of the photos we captured.
I received this email from on of our neighbors:
“ I live at 3800 block of Beach Drive and someone went through my car… they just looked through it and took a couple of things…”
Just a reminder to keep you doors locked and to call the police when something like this happens.
Have I mentioned lately just how great this time of year is around here??? Ling cod season opened this glorious morning with boats swarming the south Alki Rock Pile or what we call “Mediation Reef” from an earlier post.
… and if that wasn’t enough excitement to float your boat, the short Spotted Shrimp season starts this Saturday morning! A good local shrimp hole is along the NE side of Vashon Island. Get you telescope out and check out the hundred or so boats pulling up the scrumptious booty from 250 feet below the surface. These fine crustaceans are considered some of the finest shrimp in the entire world!!

Beach Drive neighbor, Larry, sent us this photo saying it sums up our last few gorgeous sunny evenings.
Is it too soon for “deck season” to officially begin?
Happening now…
Update 7:11 pm. This photo was provided to us by one of our readers, Rayetta,
If we had a category for this post it would read “Just for the helluvit”! The idea comes from an unknown kind soul that planted a purple bowl beneath the drinking fountain last year for all our 4 legged friends to drink out of. That bowl must have blown away during one of the winter storms so… we want to pay it forward this year with a stainless dog bowl in memory of an old friend named Orson that used to hobble (on a good day) out to that section of Emma Schmitz park. Rain or shine, bring your walking buddy out to the fountain at 7:00 tomorrow night for the first slurp of the season!
Bailey & Rosie, Sophie, Oliver, the baying hounds, Ottie & Sailer, Seyward, Winston, Gizmo, Cheeto & Paddy, Molly, Sammy, Tazi and the rest of ya tail waggers are cordially invited!
This just in from a Beach Drive neighbor on the 4700 block:
I came home tonight to discover that one of our cats had gotten out while we were away. She is a small grey cat, missing one eye. She is not wearing a collar, as she’s an indoor cat. She’s pretty skittish, and doesn’t like to be held, but will come to my voice.
We are fostering her and do not know if she is micro-chipped.
If you see Isis, please call 206-601-0113.
This email came in last night from a Beach Drive neighbor:
My neighbor’s large round mooring buoy broke loose last week. It’s white with black numbers. It floated away from the 5400 block of Beach Drive. She’s asking anyone sighting it to please call 206-734-5992.
