From the ‘in case you wondered too’ file: 35th/Othello

The photo is from Pam, one of a half-dozen-plus people who have messaged us wondering about the yellow tape at the former Fire Station 37 (privately owned since the city sold the landmarked property seven years ago). The tape’s been there a few days, as we told a texter last night, but then when police cars were spotted there as well at midday today, sparking a rush of other inquiries, we asked SPD. Today’s response was to check out possible trespassing, we’re told. No one located. (That doesn’t explain the tape, but it has many possible uses, more often “hazard” than “crime.”)

FOLLOWUP: 4722 Fauntleroy/4721 38th tower crane rising

 |   Development | Triangle | West Seattle news

ORIGINAL REPORT, 12:28 PM FRIDAY: Thanks to Eddie for the photos. As previewed here earlier this week, the tower crane for the two-building, ~300-unit Legacy Partners project at 4721 Fauntleroy Way SW and 4721 38th SW is going up today. Work started early this morning.

This breaks a four-month spell of tower-crane-lessness in West Seattle, since the one at 2749 California SW came down in May; that’s the mixed-use project where the new PCC Community Markets (WSB sponsor) store opened two days ago.

ADDED SATURDAY: Another photo from Eddie – the finished installation:

Thanks to @macjustice for tweeting the photo – that’s the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, headed home to Bremerton. It’s been gone for almost three weeks, including a stop in San Diego, where a 21-year-old sailor was killed in a fall onboard.
