    Thank you for the awesome photo, David!  Watch the seals from Water Taxi, so wonderful to see my “commuter buddies” up close!  West Seattle is an amazing place.  Happy Thanksgiving, WSB!

    I have been fairly close to that buoy in a boat…the aroma is definitely distinct, the closer you get – lol.  There are nights when  their barks carry on the wind up here to the Admiral District if you listen closely…

    Happy T-Day, everyone…

    Anyone know which movie is playing in the theater with the new seats and screen?

      Two auditoriums are now ready (I’m publishing an update next) … both at “Pier 1.” I have some partial info – at least as of yesterday, the newest Pier 1 auditorium schedule was: “We will be showing Dr. Strange in there at 1:00, 3:20. 8:50. And an additional show of Moana is in there at 6:40.” So for a few days, the Admiral is showing three movies – and then next week they start work on dividing the remaining “old” auditorium.

Sorry, comment time is over.
