Potential Attempted Break In
June 4, 2010 by Leave a Comment
We received this email today about a potential break-in on Beach Drive around the 4600 block:
Apparently, the perpetrator knocked on the front door and when there was no answer he went through the gate and entered the backyard. There he rattled the back door by the master bedroom. Our neighbor went to the front door and when no one was there and her dog was barking she went to the back door by the kitchen, saw a man at her master bedroom door and asked him what he was doing and he took off up the bank and climbed over their fence to another neighbor's yard.
Our neighbor called 911 and described the perpetrator as a young man, dark hair, approx 20 something, about 6 ft tall, medium build, ponytail, black cap, white hoodie sweatshirt, black pants.
Luckily, no harm done……eyes wide open!
Great reminder about having a Block Watch (what if the neighbor wasn't home) and the upcoming Seattle's Night Out in August.

West Seattle Blog reports that the Satterlee House, also known as the Painted Lady of Beach Drive, will not have new homes on the front lawn anytime soon. The State Supreme Court has rejected builder and owner, William Conner's request to build three "mini-mansions" in front of the historic home. You can read WSB's coverage of this fight that has gone on for over two years here.
That Restaurant at Beach Drive and Jacobsen: Quesnels
May 24, 2010 by 2 Comments
Quesnel’s Restaurant definately is piece of Beach Drive History. Sadly we moved here after it’s existance…but we’re often asked about what happened to the restuarant and many have shared fond memories.
West Seattle Blog writes about this with the recent passing of Neal Shaffer, who ran the restaurant for many years along with the Shack Drive In.
What was a restaurant is now private residences at 4703 Beach Drive SW.
The owne of these properties 4703 (the large beige triplex, former restaurant) and 4701, the smaller home has been doing a major remodel of the residence at 4701.
What are your memories of this restaurant?
