West Seattle weekend scenes: Tyvek & tide

| Seen at sea | West Seattle news | West Seattle weather

Two of the photos texted to our hotline (206-293-6302) this weekend are interesting sights you might have missed:

UNWRAPPED: Thanks to Charlie G. for the photo of wind-blown Tyvek peeled off the under-construction Rally project at Charlestown/California. (Lynda B. had texted us about it earlier but it was gone by the time we arrived.)

Meantime, today’s high-mark “king tide” is 20 minutes away, at 11:49 am. Today it’s 12.4 feet – just a bit down from Saturday morning, when Tim McMonigle shared this photo from the Alki seawall:

Certainly it’s more spectacular when north winds are blowing – but as Tim noted, even without them, seeing the Sound almost over the seawall is still impressive.

I’ll say it was a weird illusion coming down the hill and seeing it. I thought somebody TP’d a tree.

It was so nice having the extra noise from the poorly secured Tyvek on a Sunday! We normally only have the noise of a minor war zone on Monday – Saturday. Special shout out to Gamut360, Noren Development and Intracorp for trashing this block and completely disrupting life for everyone currently living nearby while you’re building these properties.

Sorry, comment time is over.
