West Seattle storm aftermath: C & P lost a tree

9:52 AM: So far we haven’t heard of any major damage in West Seattle resulting from last night’s wind, but we did find out this morning about another tree that came down – this one behind C & P Coffee Company (WSB sponsor). Barista George tells us it fell around closing time last night; no one was hurt. We’ll be checking back later on their removal plans; C & P has an arts-and-crafts fair scheduled both days this weekend – indoors, but take note you might only be able to enter from the front door.

11:28 AM UPDATE: Just checked back – cleanup is actually proceeding quickly. Proprietors Cameron and Pete have chainsaw-and-pickup-equipped friends helping:

They’re feeling lucky the tree fell northward, missing nearby structures, including the classic Craftsman that houses their shop.

    Oh no! If that’s the tree I think it is, it was lovely, with a really interesting shape. So sorry C&P, will raise a toast to the tree with my next macchiato!

Sorry, comment time is over.
