West Seattle, Washington
10 Wednesday
Gary is hoping to find the owner of a bicycle abandoned earlier this week and sent this photo:
Cruiser. Bicycle Left in Alki driveway morning of June 3rd.
If it might be yours, contact us and we’ll connect you.
Out of the WSB inbox:
This bike has been sitting on the corner of Alki Ave SW and 62nd Ave SW for over a week now. The strange thing is that the bike is not locked to the bike rack and based on research it’s valued around $2,000. After looking at camera footage, it was left here on 4/6/2026. I am not sure if it is stolen or maybe it ran out of battery and the person isn’t able to get it back to their house but figured someone might be looking for it.
Megan is wondering if someone’s missing this bicycle:
I found what looks like a cruiser possibly – not totally sure on model – it is hidden in bushes behind my house.
It’s a steep hill so can’t see the model. Green around tires. Located off SW Nevada St. Hidden in the path on Longfellow Creek. Happy to help owner retrieve it if someone recognizes it.
Let us know if you do; we’ll connect you.
A texter sent this photo with word that this bicycle has been “where Hudson becomes Jacobsen” for at least a few days.
Recognize this bicycle?
It showed up in Liz‘s driveway the other day. If you know who it belongs to, let us know and we’ll connect you.

Sent by Brian:
I found a likely stolen/dumped bike in my front lawn (Monday) morning on SW Stevens and 47th. It is pretty new-looking Radmission Rad Power Bike e-bike. Strange thing, the front tire was off next to it, along with a second tire. I pulled it inside and filed a police report.

Two West Seattle Crime Watch notes:
DUI EMPHASIS PATROL: SPD announced today that this special operation happened last night, with this summary:
At 1900 hours, three officers conducted a High Visibility Emphasis Patrol for DUI. They contacted 28 drivers, issued 23 citations, and conducted three DUI investigations.
The emphasis-patrol summary was linked to the Southwest Precinct – which covers West Seattle and South Park – so we asked for more details. So far, SPD spokesperson Det. Brian Pritchard could only find information about one case, “37th Avenue Southwest and Southwest Alaska Street . Suspect driver: 21-year-old woman.” We’re asking the City Attorney’s Office if they can point us to info on the other 22 citations.
Also in Crime Watch, this reader report:
DUMPED-POSSIBLY-STOLEN BICYCLE: Recognize this bike? A texter sent the photo and report:
Dumped for weeks, likely stolen. Older bike. Near alley entrance, 99th and 37th in Arbor Heights.
Three reader reports:
ANOTHER DUMPED VAN: As discussed at this past week’s HPAC meeting (WSB coverage here), dumped vans have been turning up in the West Duwamish Greenbelt. The reader photo above shows the latest one, which we’re told was found near the Highland Park Way access. The paths into the area are supposed to be securely gated.
ABANDONED BICYCLE: This one turned up in southeast Admiral:
This bike looks like it has been dumped or left for a few days. On 40th between Hanford and Hinds.
MORE GAS THEFT: Via text:
Another street-parked pickup truck got their tank drilled last night, this time at 32 and Cloverdale. last week was 30 and Cloverdale, and I saw your post about another nearby. Might be worth a PSA that it’s not smart to street-park anything with a gas tank that’s easily accessible from below until these guys decide to change neighborhoods.
Two readers report abandoned bicycles, which we often show because they frequently turn out to have been stolen and dumped – first, sent by Tina:
Kids’ bike found in Orchard Street Ravine. Currently at dead end of 38th & Myrtle.
And sent by Kit:
Propped on the rail in center of Lincoln Park along ridge / view. Nice bike, has been deserted with broken chain.

MAIL THEFT: Emailed this morning by an Alki resident:
This morning about 10:10 am two males were stealing postal mail from our mailboxes located (in the 2700 block of) 60th Avenue SW.
I tried to stop them and grab their attention but they split up and walked away and one running away and the other jumping into a vehicle – white and black, old I think RAV-4.
I think neighbors need to know this. The police have been notified and I’m going to share the photos of them and the car.
