West Seattle scene: The view from over the windstorm

Thanks to Gatewood-residing photographer and pilot Long B. Nguyen for sharing that photo of West Seattle taken as wind buffeted our peninsula (and elsewhere) the other night – click the photo to see a larger version. (Nothing extraordinary in the forecast for the next several days, by the way – mostly rain.)

Is the large green area Schmitz Park? I didn’t know it was that big, but I don’t think that is far enough south to be Camp Long.

that’s gotta be Schmitz Park – pretty incredible photos!

Yeah, Wendy, I agree with you and Bunnyfer.

At first, I thought it was too far east to be Schmitz, and too large running south.

Looking at the larger image, heading south along the ridge above the Duwamish Head, the grouping of bright lights (not the ones further east, along the eastern edge of WS, and on Harbor Island, of course), must be the Admiral District. The northernmost group being California & Admiral, the next one south being Hiawatha/WS High.
