This just in from Zoey's owner:
DO NOT FEED YORKIE ON BEACH DRIVE. We are trying to trap her and she needs to be hungry to go in the trap. Seen every morning around 10-11 between 5300 and 6400 Beach Drive. Please call 715-8818 if you spot her so we know location. Reward to favorite charity if you catch her.

Zoey is a Yorkie/Shia Zsu mix and was last seen in the Beach Drive neighborhood. From West Seattle Blog:
Her owners ask that you please check under your cars and in shrubs, etc. Zoey's been away from home for almost a week.
Thanks to West Seattle Blog for making us aware of this missing pet.
10:48 AM UPDATE FROM ZOEY'S OWNER: She has been hanging out for the past two days at the homes on the west side of Beach Drive at the base of Atlas. Also across the road under a tree with a bunch of "junk". I have set a trap and with any luck animal contral will set a trap as well. If anyone finds her,, she has to be cornered as she is a rescue and very skittish. Anything you or anyone can do is greatly appreciated.

I actually took this photo earlier this month. When I see Brants along Puget Sound, I believe Spring in near.
The earthquake in Chile has triggered a Tsunami advisory along the Pacific coastline, including Washington and up to Alaska.
…A TSUNAMI ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT WHICH INCLUDES THE
COASTAL AREAS OF CALIFORNIA – OREGON – WASHINGTON – BRITISH COLUMBIA AND ALASKA FROM THE CALIFORNIA-MEXICO BORDER TO ATTU ALASKA…
From the Examiner.com:
Tsunami Advisory is in effect for the Washington coast and the Puget Sound….. A tsunami advisory mean that strong waves or currents dangerous to people in or very near the water is immient or expected. Significant flooding from waves are not expected…however stay out of the water until the danger has passed!
I'm watching King5 as I write this post… they estimate that we may see some waves between 2:00 – 4:00 pm today.
Today's high tide for this area is an 11.2 at 3:15 pm.
Seattle PI Article: Tsunami would be disaster for Seattle (from 2005 with interesting map showing riskier areas, including West Seattle).

Lot's of great tips in this issue including connecting block watch groups within a neighborhood. If you're a local block watch captain or if you're in an area block watch group, please give me a shout.
I know at our home, we've been experiencing issues with our internet since late yesterday (that we're aware of since some football game was on).
I've been on the phone off and on with Comcast today and apparently in the Beach Drive/Alki area (they don't give you a specific area) they have been experiencing technical issues.
The supervisor I spoke with from Comcast stated that they have technicians going door to door today to try to get this resolved.
Let me tell you, it's no fun being a "blogger" and not having your internet!
This morning the West Seattle Blog reports:
2/3/10: Just received a phone call (8 am) that a small female dog was found along north Beach Drive (south of Alki Point) this morning. Taken to West Seattle VCA vet clinic/hospital. If it might be yours, please call 206 923 3551 (and let us know if there’s a reunion since we may not hear directly from the hospital).
Hard to believe that it was three years ago today that Beach Drive Blog was launched. Just this past weekend I bumped into someone at my nephew-in-law's (boy that sounds funny) home who knew me from BDB. It's such a small world! He and I wound up being "Facebook Friends" and then noticed we had the mutual connection… social media and how much it can connect us, will never cease to amaze me.
Our first blog post (910 articles ago) has a photo of Thelma, our white cat who left us about this time last year. She's also in the banner for the blog. What's interesting to me about the first post is that I still have the same overall goal or purpose for this blog: serving the community that exists along Beach Drive.
Part of my reasoning for starting this blog, in amidst all the others is that I would like to see our neighborhood have an active block watch or a way we can all communicate with each other. This could serve as one of the functions of this blog. It would also be interesting to share photos and events about our neighborhood and blog about the history of several of the homes in this area…kind of a "this old house". This can also be a tool for networking, sharing recipes…we don't know what this could evolve to. Your participation is welcome.
And yes–your participation is very welcome and these days…NEEDED. I have been pretty busy keeping up with my day job and other business related blogging activites. I am not and will not abandone this blog–it's most near and dear to my heart.
My vision for Beach Drive Blog has always been to have neighbors along this community being active reporters "covering their beat". If you live in the Beach Drive neighborhood and are interested in being a contributing author, please let me know. Instructions on "how to" write for this blog and what content would be appreciated is on the "how to" tab along the top of this site.
I cannot thank you enough. I enjoy writing this blog and getting to meet our neighbors. I am humbled to have ANY readers (I subscribed my husband so I would have at least one). Thank you for sending in your stories, photos and being active in our community in West Seattle.
Thank you and happy birthday, Beach Drive Blog!
