All about the West Seattle neighborhood around Beach Drive
Our male cat Jasper got out of the house, he has never been outside. He is all black with yellow eyes, he has no collar but is microchiped.
(206) 932-1560, please call or if you can catch him even better. We have been looking incessantly but so far to no avail. REWARD.
I just confirmed with Mark Solomon with the Seattle Police Department that the Beach Drive Community Safety Walk is still taking place tomorrow night at 6:30pm. The plan is to "muster at Emma Schmitz Park and canvas a portion of Beach Drive, completing our walk at Me Kwa Mooks Park".
I'm not sure exactly where at Emma Schmitz this will be commencing, if I find additional information, I will share it with you.
This event is as a result of the tragic unsolved murder of Greggette Guy that took place over two months ago.
We're hoping for a huge turn-out! Please spead the word to your Beach Drive neighbors.
This from Super Yacht Times:
“Delta has launched its latest custom superyacht, Arianna. Designed and engineered by the Delta Design Group, Arianna is the largest all composite 50-meter, full-displacement motor yacht in the world. With more than 780 gross tons ITC, a beam of nearly 34 feet, and over 7,500 square feet of living area Arianna has more interior volume than any other yacht her length. Built to travel and explore, Arianna is capable of transoceanic cruising with fortitude and grace.”
Delta Marine is the same builder of the Laurel. Order your super yacht today!
Looks like a pleasure craft is catching a tow from the Coast Guard (smaller boat in photo) with a Seattle Fire Boat assisting (larger boat).
This photo, taken by Scupper, was taken when the boats were just north east of Blake Island. The fire boat is already back in Seattle.
We have been notified by Mark Solomon, Crime Prevention Coordinator for the Seattle Police Department, that a community safety walk has been scheduled for June 1, 2012 at 6:30 pm.
Following the tragic murder of Greggette Guy two months ago, several in the Beach Drive community have been expressing concern about the safety of Emma Schmitz and Mee Kwa Mooks parks in the evening. This walk is to give us an opportunity to point out areas that could have improved safety.
When and if I have more information from Mark Solomon or any other City officials, I'll let you know.
Tazi is a Basenji, the barkless dog, and is the most ancient breed (per Wikipedia). They evolved from wolves and like wolves they rarely make noise as their vocal cords are different from a typical dog. They can bark but rarely do. They can run up to 35 miles an hour, one of the fastest of all breeds and Tazi loves to run! He runs 3 miles a day with his human, Sandi.
You've probably seen him with Pat and Sandi perched from the front porch overlooking Beach Drive.
This young Stellar Jay has been following his mother around our courtyard this morning.
Two days of low tides offered some great sights along a couple of West Seattle beaches. Starting with the beach off of Emma Schmitz Viewpoint, found this Stingray looking critter on it's back and set him back in the water before the birds made a meal of him!
then found these gooey looking dudes hanging off a rock about 200 yards out…

Then it was off to Fauntleroy Cove where I could almost walk straight on the Ferry from the exposed beach under the piers. Great access from Fauntleroy Park located on the north side of the dock…
Great sculpture of a Raven marking the location of the park
Tomorrow promises to be another great day to see what's lurking below with a minus tide of -3.3. Someday I hope to get a glimpse of the famous Spirit Boulder that's been reported to peak it's head out at extreme low tides on the south side of the ferry dock.
