WEST SEATTLE WEATHER: Wind and waves at Alki
October 13, 2025 4:54 pm
|      0 COMMENTS
 |   West Seattle news | West Seattle weather

Thanks to Keri for the photos! Today’s north wind brought a classic scene on the Alki promenade – dramatic waves hitting the seawall.

A similar north wind is in the forecast for tomorrow too. Meantime, the wind is a challenge on the open Sound just past Alki – the Vashon Island Water Taxi has canceled trips for the rest of today because of the wind. (The West Seattle Water Taxi is still running – it sails in more-protected waters.)

BIZNOTE FOLLOWUP: Do Si KBBQ now open on Alki

(Saturday photo sent by Tony Tschanz)

As reported here last Thursday, today is “soft open” day for Do Si KBBQ at 2516 Alki Avenue SW, where Duke’s closed in April. We went in to find out the plan for the coming days – sometimes “soft opens” don’t immediately precede “official” opens. But the staff told us this one does – they’re also expecting to be open tomorrow and beyond. This is an expansion; the original Do Si is in Kent. If you haven’t had KBBQ (Korean barbecue) before, it centers on a tabletop grill where diners cook their own sliced meat – you can order various combinations, including AYCE (all you can eat).

(Posted menu photo sent by Chris Kardish)

For starters, Do Si plans to open 11 am to 9 pm Mondays through Thursdays, until 10 pm Fridays-Saturdays-Sundays, and they told us they prefer reservations but will consider walk-ins.

Thanks to James Bratsanos for the view of the snow-dusted Olympic Mountains peaks seen from Alki after the weekend storm clouds lifted and departed. It’s not snowing low enough for skiing (the Stevens Pass cameras verify that) yet, but it gives us a reason to remind you that this year’s West Seattle Ski Swap is less than two weeks away. Mountain to Sound Outfitters (3602 SW Alaska; WSB sponsor) presents the Ski Swap across the street at the West Seattle VFW Hall (3601 SW Alaska), and this year’s swap starts with seller dropoffs on Friday, October 24, 2-5:30 pm (snowboards and other snowsports gear, not just skis), then two days of shopping, 10 am-5 pm Saturday and 10 am-4 pm Sunday, October 25-26. If you’re interested in selling, go here to register before pre-swap Thursday (October 23).

 |   Crime | West Seattle news | West Seattle police

12:42 PM: For those asking about “all the sirens” – police were responding to reports of a man “waving around a gun” near 42nd/Alaska. He was then tracked to the 7-11 at California SW and SW Erskine, where officers report they have one person in custody. No gunfire or injuries reported.

(Added: WSB photos)

12;53 PM: According to police radio, a witness has confirmed the man in custody is the man seen at 42nd/Alaska; they have probable cause to arrest him for investigation of felony harassment (which is a catch-all for various types of threats).

1:18 PM: The suspect is being taken to the King County Jail.

UPDATE: Fire callout on 16th SW, second fire this year at same house

 |   West Seattle fires | West Seattle news

8:37 AM: Seattle Fire has a full response in the 8100 block of 16th SW [map]. Avoid the area.

8:40 AM: SFD describes this as a vacant building but says it’s evacuating neighbors as a precaution. Meantime, police are blocking traffic “in all directions” at the scene.

(WSB photos)

8:49 AM: Our crew has just arrived and reports plenty of smoke in the area. Photo added.

9:01 AM: Above, our crew reports heat from the fire appears to have damaged siding on a neighboring house. No injuries reported so far. Neighbors tell us they heard an “explosion” just before the fire broke out, and they say this house had a fire callout earlier this year (we’re looking that up).

9:11 AM: SFD says the fire is under control. Here’s our report on a fire at the same house in January. The archived SFD log reminds us that fire was also in the morning, with a callout just after 9 am. That fire sent two people to the hospital but so far, SFD confirms to us, no injuries related to this one.

9:38 AM: Just talked to the incident commander. They suspect a propane tank (which would explain the “explosion” neighbors report hearing). Some units are being dismissed.

VIDEO: Celebrating The Ukes for ‘spreading music and joy’ to West Seattle seniors
October 12, 2025 3:10 pm
|      1 COMMENT
 |   West Seattle news | WS culture/arts

West Seattle has a sizable community of ukulele players! Every week we feature at least one local meetup in the WSB West Seattle Event Calendar. And recently we received this tribute to The Ukes, sent by Betsy Henry on behalf of Quail Park-West Seattle (4515 41st SW; WSB sponsor):

Seattle’s beloved and long-standing ukulele group, The Ukes, has been spreading music and joy for decades, and they have a special monthly tradition that deserves to be celebrated. Each month, The Ukes visit Quail Park of West Seattle, a senior living community, sharing their music and positivity with the residents. With casual membership that ranges from a dozen to two dozen, The Ukes pick songs based on a monthly theme, take song requests and even sing Happy Birthday for residents celebrating.

Founded in 1995 at the Senior Center of West Seattle (now the Center for Active Living), The Ukes started as a fun, community-driven initiative. Tony Joslin, the organizer, explains that the center provided practice space in exchange for letting their members sing along.

A special part of the group’s monthly visit to Quail Park is their connection with Paula Green, a longtime member who is now a resident at the senior living community. Paula continues to play with The Ukes during their visits, and her presence reminds everyone of the group’s deep community ties. The residents at Quail Park join in the fun, singing along, clapping, and dancing, turning each visit into a joyous and engaging experience for all.

These visits illustrate the importance of human connection and the impact of community music programs. The residents’ smiles, the music, and the vibrant atmosphere make for a touching and lively event that showcases the power of music to bring people together. The Ukes are uplifting the spirits of the Quail Park residents while sharing their love of music and community.

 |   West Seattle news | West Seattle traffic alerts

(Screengrab of traffic cam before SFD and other SPD arrived at bridge scene)

11:13 PM: Part of the westbound West Seattle Bridge is blocked just before the Delridge exit after what police have told dispatch they believe is a hit-run crash. An officer reported that a black vehicle likely to have “major front-end damage” is believed to have exited the bridge at Delridge or some point further west.

11:17 PM: Officers believe they’ve found that car on the Delridge offramp. The driver is believed to have initially walked away but is returning, they’ve told dispatch.

11:22 PM: The Delridge offramp is reported to be completely blocked.

12:07 AM: Offramp’ll be blocked a while for cleanup.

12:27 AM: Or not; police say they’re reopening the ramp. We’re meantime following up on injuries.

ADDED MONDAY: This update is from SPD Blotter:

Seattle police officers arrested a 17-year-old boy following a hit and run collision on the West Seattle Bridge Saturday night.

On Oct 11, at about 11:00 p.m., a patrol officer witnessed a car travelling a high rate-of-speed with no headlights on, westbound, on the West Seattle Bridge. The car crashed into another vehicle, also going westbound, on the bridge.

Officers arrived, and found the occupants of the victim vehicle, a man and a woman, both 45, with minor injuries. The Seattle Fire Department (SFD) arrived and provided them with medical aid.

The suspect vehicle fled the crash and then struck a barrier at the Delridge Way Southwest off-ramp, disabling the car. The vehicle’s occupants ran away on foot.

While police investigated the crash, the fleeing occupants returned to the scene of the crime. Police arrested the 17-year-old driver for hit and run and reckless driving. Two of the passengers had minor injuries, and they were treated by SFD and taken to the hospital.

Police issued the teen driver a citation for failure to provide insurance, and having mismatched license plate and car registration. Officers released him from custody to a family member at the Southwest Precinct.’

Police impounded the arrestee’s car from the roadway, as it sustained significant damage.

WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Have you seen this stolen art.?
October 11, 2025 7:47 pm

 |   Crime | West Seattle news

Back on Thursday night, we featured artist Tyson Foster in our coverage of this month’s West Seattle Art Walk, He was at Junction 47 for his exhibit’s opening reception. Usually the artwork stays up all month at host venues – but you won’t find some of Foster’s work at Junction 47 tonight, because it’s been stolen:

The reader who reports this says the security video images aren’t available yet but they showed “a tall white man with a blond ponytail and handlebar mustache, wearing a blue jacket, breaking into the apartment lobby of the west building with a black garbage bag, from 8-9 am.”

They sent images of some of the stolen work, and that’s what’s shown here, including this “casket-shaped painting.”

All work is signed and dated, we’re told. The thief may have been seen in The Triangle later in the morning near “the veterans’ office,” according to two witnesses who said “he did still have the paintings with him and he left with two older white women with their hoods up (…) he walked behind that building with the women and then they saw a car drive out of that back area seconds later.” If you have any info, the SPD incident # is 25-297867.

Police are at two collision scenes in West Seattle right now:

Thanks to Jan for that photo of the scene of a crash involving three vehicles by the Alki Avenue “flower houses” in the 1300 block [vicinity map]. It’s partly blocking the south/east direction.

Meantime, no photo, but police report both directions of Sylvan Way are blocked at SW Holly [map] because of a crash described as a driver hitting a tree.

SFD has responded to both scenes, though not major responses, so injuries are likely not life-threatening. One person is reportedly being transported to a hospital from the Sylvan Way crash via AMR (private ambulance).

SATURDAY REPORT: Thanks to David for the photo. This scene at Nino Cantu Southwest Athletic Complex followed reports in the 4 am hour of an unoccupied car rolling downhill, doors open, near 29th/Cloverdale, and of two drivers doing donuts in the NCSWAC lot, with one reportedly crashing through a fence. We’ve listened to archived police communication related to the incident; officers called in a white Hyundai Elantra that hadn’t been reported as stolen but had months-expired registration. David says reckless driving/vehicle stunts in the NCSWAC parking lot and vicinity “has been an ongoing problem in this neighborhood for years.”

SUNDAY UPDATE: David says neighbors reported a second car was rolled down the embankment too, but towed quickly, so only one was left by the time the photo above was taken.
