If you’ve driven by the west side of South Park on 509 or thereabouts, you might have noticed smoke, and/or the TV helicopters. Here’s what’s happening: There’s a fire at an abandoned house in the 300 block of South Trenton. We have a crew there, covering it for our partner site The South Park News – here’s the latest.
Sarje Rao, your photos (follow the link to the other one) are striking! Thank you for sharing them.
Sorry the house caught fire.. glad no one was in it.. .but I must agree with Happy. This photo and the one of the firefighters and the smoke via the link are Fantastic. Great shots.
I’ll be adding a few more to The South Park News in a bit. We are very grateful to the photographer, who we met at the scene, for sharing them. – TR
We have an opportunity to open up an entirely new venue for healthy, fun youth sports in the NW – RIGHT HERE IN SEATTLE! and serve SW Seattle and the Duwamish River Valley – an area that is remote from great rowing opportunities at Green Lake, Lake Washington, Lake Union and the Ship Canal. You can help bring the same opportunities for rowing and paddling to SW Seattle that youth in other parts of the city already enjoy.
The Pocock Rowing Foundation is working with Seattle Parks and King County to develop grant funding to build a dock capable of supporting rowing on the Duwamish River at South Park’s Duwamish Waterway Park. The dock will allow safe access to the Duwamish and provide for a significant expansion in the capacity of the Duwamish Rowing Club and other groups to support youth water-based competitive sports that can serve the Duwamish Community – but in particular South Park and Georgetown.
Show your support and attend one of the public workshops where we’ll explain the proposals to develop this $300,000 piece of ‘enabling technology’ at:
