Wondering about the helicopter?

4:59 PM: Just TV flying over the ferry dock, doing holiday-getaway traffic reports. 90-minute wait at Fauntleroy per Washington State Ferries.

6:03 PM: Finally got a chance to check out the ferry lineup. Not bad at all right now – ends south of the main Lincoln Park parking lot.

    The helicopter needs to go away now. It’s ruining a beautiful evening. Who thinks this is ok?!

      Helicopter over west Seattle ferry is creating Noise Polition! Please stop and go away!

        Hey Neighb!  I’m watching the news and I haven’t seen the Vashon ferry traffic on any channels!  Roche’s are around this weekend..FYI 😜

    I don’t. Annoying! No reason for it to be over our homes.

    I am sick of that thing. What a waste.

    Can’t stand Seattle news.

    Who gave the TV stations the right to ruin my evening with the loud sound of their helicopter?

    not okay. how long do you need to buzz us? the entire 90 minute wait?

    Tell it to LEAVE! It’s a beautiful evening – returning home to start the weekend and begin relaxing, but no, like a mosquito at night, it’s a constant drone. It’s been over the terminal for over an hour. It IS the news now. Must be a very slow news day…

    For real, “Daphne”! How long does it take to get a few shots of the ferry back-up?  This is insane!

    Happens whenever there’s a holiday weekend- fine with me. They’ll e gone soon. But who knows how long neighbors on either side of me — who both left their barking dogs outside will be gone– talk about ruining a beautiful evening.

      No kidding Gene, my old neighbors used to leave their two dogs fenced in their backyard on long weekends and bark nonstop. I would open the stormfence gate and just let them out for a while. They would sit 4 feet from the closed gate, quiet and content. Dogs are crazy.

    And you’re probably the first to demand to know what’s going on when a helicopter is first to report news,search for suspect,etc.  I’ll zip it now before I say something I’ll regret.  Naaaah.

    It’s protecting us from the seagull hatch on Vashon.  It only needs twenty more minutes to purge the hordes.

    As if its not stressful enough being in a 90 minute ferry line, the constant whine of the helicopter just kept my blood pressure way up!  Do we know which media outlet so we can complain?

Sorry, comment time is over.
