All about the West Seattle neighborhood around Beach Drive
A huge congrats to Andrew for winning the National Bagger Championships competition in Las Vegas. I was just at Metropolitan Market, where Andrew bags groceries when not competing to be the national best, where it was announced over their loud speakers. Shoppers and employees stopped to clap and cheer for Andrew!!
Pictured is the back of a shirt that several of Andrew’s co-workers are wearing today in Andrew’s honor.
Now we know someone famous!
Last night there were dozens of flashlights and giggling children of all ages participating in Seattle Aquariums night time beach walk.
Scupper Sr. interviewed a representative from the Seattle Aquarium about the late night exploration off the shores of Beach Drive.
Special thanks to Patrick Robinson of West Seattle Herald for sharing his lovely photos with us.
West Seattle Herald is reporting (via Facebook) a possible dead orca off of the shores of Beach Drive:
A dead orca has been spotted off Beach Drive, about 60 feet off shore near 64th SW. We have a reporter on the scene. More shortly.
UPDATE: “Scupper Sr.” is back from the scene. It’s confirmed as a big ol’ napping sea lion with his flipper i
n the air. Good news! Here is the scene from Charles Richey Sr Viewpoint.
This issue deals with neighborhood nuisances and upcoming events including:
Saturday, January 26, 2013 City of Seattle Gun Buy Back Program
Saturday, February 9, 2013: Neighbor Appreciation Day (this must be the day you celebrate your neighbors who are NOT nuisances).

I wonder if this eagle was making sure folks were picking up after their dogs at Emma Schmitz Memorial View Point? Thanks to Janine for sending this picture to us!
Finally had the camera to capture a resident Bald Eagle chowing on a salmon near 4700 block of Beach Drive. The chase was on after being spooked off the beach by a passing truck…

Are you considering adding a kitten to your home? A local West Seattle pixie-bob breeder, Seattle’s Best, has a beautiful kitten available. Her name is Squeaker. Isn’t she adorable?
Sherri from Seattle’s Best describes Squeaker as:
Door greeter, loves to talk but quiet purr/chirping, prefers a piece of paper to her furry mouse at the moment but her favorite is a wand toy, sleeps on the bed at night behind your knees, loves racing down the hallway, would love a feline or dog friendly buddy, uses the scratching post faithfully, likes to watch TV with you and if she is sitting on the same piece of furniture as you, has to be touching you, loves having her belly rubbed and being petted, makes biscuits when petted even if she is eating.
She weighs 9lb 5oz at 6.5 months so she is going be a big girl. She has long hair, a beautiful thick almost full length tail.
If you’re not familiar with the pixie-bob bread, they are more “trainable” than a typical cat. Some say they’re almost dog like as they will come when you call them, play fetch and some even swim or can be walked on a leash. By the way, “making biscuits” means kneading – I had to ask Sherri!
Squeaker is $400 and she is fully vaccinated, spayed and microchipped. Of course she is a purebred Pixie Bob and comes with papers, born 06/22/12.
Thanks to Brian Sheehan for sharing this photo that he took tonight by Mee Kwa Mooks.
“Beautiful hazy sun blending to night with small crescent moon.”
It appears there is a police boat that has been slowly canvasing the shores off Beach Drive. We’ve seen an underwater flare and another shot in the air near Emma Schmitz View Point and Mee Kwa Mooks.
