Thursday sights around West Seattle

Moments ago, the sunset from Fauntleroy:

Earlier, Dawson sent this panorama (thank you!) of the Olympics making their appearance this morning:

And we checked back on the Admiral Way median tree-planting progress a little while ago – about half were planted when we went by – here’s one:

    Does anybody know what kind of trees these are? Was it on a website somewhere that I missed? Sure, it’s nice to have trees there, but not all trees are equal. I’d like to know what they are.

    Katherine, I had the same question and asked SDOT. According to landscape architect “the trees are ‘Dreamcatcher’ Cherries –a relatively new hybrid.”

Sorry, comment time is over.
