West Seattle, Washington
18 Thursday
Our Sunday night activity, round trip on the Fauntleroy-Vashon-Southworth ferry. Here’s the view as we pulled into Vashon on the westbound return.
For those of you who were just holding your breath till this whole Seafair thing was over, thanks for indulging us and scrolling past these posts. As for us, well, one more round of photos from the Museum of Flight (today’s pre-takeoff and post-landing), and then it’s off to dream about ’08.

In case you saw the same police activity at WV Barnes & Noble this morning (we were at the Museum of Flight) — four police cars, people in handcuffs, store briefly closed (or so one would-be customer was told) because of it — here’s what WSB reader Liz later heard from store staff: it started as a shoplifting investigation, then appeared to involve credit-card fraud, and there was concern one suspect was armed. Ended uneventfully with up to 3 arrests.
We’ve been warned: Friday night is the start of the three-week project that will close much of northbound I-5, off and on, round the clock, right where West Seattle drivers roll onto 5, between Spokane Street and I-90. A few more planning tidbits today:
-Remember the suggestion from West Seattle’s Most Famous Politician, to work from home or hang out someplace with wi-fi? Coffeehouses aren’t the only places you can get online; for example, Matthew @ Skylark Cafe wants everyone in WSB-land to know Skylark (north end of Delridge, just south of The Bridge) has wi-fi and welcomes telecommuters – open at 11:30 am Tuesdays-Fridays, 9 am Saturdays & Sundays. He adds, “We have air conditioning and happy hour all day til 7pm … we are also family-friendly until 9 pm when we become 21+.”
-Another e-mail suggested we remind everyone that some bus routes will change during the construction too.
-Last I-90 bridge closure for the Blue Angels is today, 12:45-2:30 pm.
-Admiral Way repaving closures are scheduled to start tomorrow.
-The diver who posted video of a six-gill shark sighting in WS waters back in January is sharing a clip of another one, with a postscript about another chilling discovery in the depths.
-A WSB reader wants to let other moms know that her trainer is starting a “moms’ running class” at noon August 13th @ Hiawatha. We couldn’t find the exact listing on the trainer’s website but here’s her e-mail address.
