West Seattle Weather Watch: Tree down in Lincoln Park

January 18, 2010 at 8:42 am | In West Seattle parks, West Seattle weather | 3 Comments

Blustery night in West Seattle – no power outages reported here but Kimberley spotted this downed tree across the main Lincoln Park waterfront path early today. For more perspective on the location, here’s a wider shot – showing the picnic shelters on either side of the tree.

Per the latest forecast, the wind advisory’s still in effect a while longer this morning – though it’s certainly a lot calmer out there right now than it was around, oh, say, 3 am, when official hourly observations recorded 45 mph gusts at Alki Point. 12:33 PM UPDATE: Krista sends an even-more-recent photo of the tree:

City offices are closed today but we will check tomorrow on whether they’re coping with any other damage after this morning’s wind.

  3. LOL!

    Interesting that it appears to have neatly fallen between the lightpole and signpost.
