Hi! Thanks for asking. Years ago, we covered a neighborhood group solving the mystery of what at least at the time was the source of a hum – you should be able to find many stories searching our archives (or search Google on the term “west seattle hum” and “westseattleblog.com”). At the time, it was traced to the vacuum systems used to unload dry-cargo ships on the Duwamish. In the years since, every time we got a note asking about a “hum,” I would check a ship tracker and sure enough, there’d be a dry-cargo ship in on the Duwamish. When I first read your note earlier today, I looked at vesselfinder.com and noted two dry-cargo ships on the river. Without further investigation, of course, we can’t say for sure that’s what you’re hearing, but it’s certainly been a past culprit. Hard to do with a baby, I’d imagine, but next time you feel it’s really loud, you might even consider driving down to West Marginal and seeing if you hear it from a particular plant – TR

Has anyone else been hearing a low frequency hum in the Alaskan Junction area? I made a post on Reddit but didn’t get too many responses. However, I did feel validated that I am not the only one hearing something. Someone mentioned that it is the ‘West Seattle Hum’. I am relatively new to the area. Can someone please explain to me what that is and who I can potentially contact? It keeps waking up me and my infant son at all sorts of weird hours in the night and it just keeps going into the day. You can feel the vibration.

I’ve seen these posts and comments for about 20 years. I wonder what the disconnect is? Maybe it is the phone/being inattentive. Owners are required to be in control of their dog but dogs bark like crazy in yards all around me. There is a law against it, same with scoop violations, and leash laws. Please train your dog or go to obedience school to curb the barking. Dogs aren’t plug and play or buy it then that’s it. There’s more to pet ownership and the shelter or kennel or pet store isn’t explaining it to new owners. The lack of city enforcement sends the wrong message.

He sounds like one of the nice folks people are always saying that live here. Thank you for calling out the health code violation. It’s basically up to us. I have tried to work with various PCC managers and the Health Department. No one who works there (or any other grocery store or restaurant) wants to deal with it. It’s a violation if a health inspector sees it but not serious enough to affect operations. I’m sick of entitled pet owners and weak to no enforcement. Dogs are just one example. I’ve been rallying against it and scoop violations since 2010 when I was bit by an off leash (illegal) dog at a play structure (also illegal). The problem just got worse during the pandemic with more pet ownership and zero enforcement because Animal Control officers were only focusing on neglect/abuse.

I’ve used the QFC pharmacy at the old Gene Fiedler Chevrolet site for many years and have been very happy with the service-and pharmacists.

I used David over at Seattle Chimney Service, he came out to do the initial inspection and chimney sweep than gave me the report on the work needed to be done for the repairs and masonry, he cleaned up after and was very quick turn around time I think it was finished within that week. I paid around $7,000 for all the work needed to be done but with the researched it seemed like it was in the correct ballpark. He’s a good professonal guy.

This is a SEATTLE-wide problem. Not sure why dog owners think the entire outdoors is their own personal toilet bowl, but hopefully they’ll get what’s coming to them. I woke up this morning to someone who had let their “precious fur baby” drop a load right in front of the sign outside my house that says “please pick up after your dog.” Nine times out of ten, it’s because they’re not paying attention to the dog, because their head is buried in their cell phone.

What our team says about the company:

‘Close To Home has been an amazing place for me after leaving a high-stress job. Being outside, exercising, and connecting with animals is the perfect antidote for career burnout and has helped tremendously with my depression and anxiety. Plus, the miles I’m walking have conditioned me enough so I can do all the hikes that seemed out of reach previously.’

To the man who verbally attacked me when I pointed out the NO PETS ALLOWED sign at PCC this morning, as he was exiting the building with his non-service dog, I really hope you don’t have a female partner at home. And I hope you don’t kiss your mother with that mouth. Calling me an “old b-word,” that’s classic :-) You were clearly in the wrong; that’s why you acted as defensive as you did. I enjoyed being yelled at for an entire block down the street.

We are looking for folks who love pets, the science of pet nutrition. You don’t need anything but a passion for animals and a willingness to learn about nutrition.

A retail background and a love of outdoors adventures is a plus, an extroverted personality a must.


We are looking for both full time and a part time staff. Both positions will include one weekend day at least.

These are long term positions, at least 6 months or longer, as it takes a while to get trained and able to be help customers independently.

Pay starts at $21.50/hour. We like to promote from within whenever possible. PTO accumulation starts the day you start. We offer foods at cost, and a separate employee discount for other merchandise.

We are a pretty cool atmosphere to work in, as most human and 4 legged customers are happy to be here.

Please drop off a resume and fill out an application in person at the store.
We do not respond to emailed resumes.

Thank you for your time and we look forward to hear from you!

Hi neighbors! I was on Vashon this past weekend and left a beloved Miir water bottle at a business on the main street. Are there any regular commuters out there who wouldn’t mind swinging by to pick it up? I can meet anywhere in West Seattle to retrieve. Thanks so much!

Perfect for small spaces, growing kids, or guest beds, I have two Tuft and Needle Twin Memory Foam mattresses looking for a new home. These mattresses were only used for my guest bed, were likely used for less than a week a year, and were only used with a mattress protector. They are in pristine condition and are available due to needing to get rid of our permanent guest bed for space reasons.

These mattresses normally retail for $600 a piece but we’re happy to give them away as long as they’re going to a good home and not the landfill. We can also include fitted sheets and mattress protectors if desired. I’m happy to send photos on request.

A family in West Seattle is seeking a nurturing and energetic full-time nanny to support their two young children. They have a 4-year-old girl who is very independent, imaginative, and loves unicorns, and a 2-year-old boy who is active, playful, and obsessed with cars and trucks.

The ideal candidate will have strong experience with preschool-aged children and toddlers, whether in a nanny setting, school, or both. They should be warm, dependable, and confident in guiding children through play, learning, and daily routines. A proactive, go-with-the-flow attitude and genuine love for working with kids are important. Comfort supporting outdoor activities and exploration is key. Vietnamese speaking is a plus.

This position begins in ASAP and runs for an 8-month contract, with the potential to extend if the nanny is open to transitioning to afternoon-only hours. The schedule is Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–4:00 PM, with guaranteed hours. The family offers one week of paid vacation, along with required Washington State sick time accrual. Pay is $30-33/hr DOE.

Does anyone know or can tell me if the museum is open this Friday, January 2nd?

Asking as it might be closed for the holidays.

There is nothing on their website. I went to the museum today to see if information was posted on the doors. Nothing posted.

If you know, please let me know.

Kristina saw these on a table along the waterfront path close to the Lowman Beach end.

She was unable to take them for safekeeping so they may still be there if not already claimed.

I used to work at Mr. Eds back in 1984. I forget the owners name but he also owned the IHOP up on Madison back then and would send me there sometimes for extra hours.I really liked Mr Eds a lot, the cooks name then was Rob same as me,two sisters that were beautiful and fun to be around. there was another Waitress named Bunny (Bernadette) who was just an amazing person. I was lucky enough to date Bunny for a few months, I still have a photo of her as a Hi Yu Princess on the float, what great memories of a wonderful place that I should have never left. Worked at the Elephant Carwash in 1979 om denny and worked at the Fishermans restaurant and lounge on pier 57 where the sweet smell of sourdough bread made you feel hungry. worked at the Edgewater for a while and last place of work was the Space Needle in 1984-1985. I hope all of the people mentioned have had amazing wonderful lives.

She was one of the Princesses. Nothing but great memories from West Seattle wish I had stayed.

This is a mischaracterization of the capabilities of these systems. The devices themselves detect motion and activity like people and vehicles and send only those relevant clips for processing. When you view the clips in the app they are streaming from the cloud so clearly the bandwidth capabilities exist. The video is then further processed and indexed for things like face, gait, and vehicle identification. This is much smaller than the raw video which can be deleted after it is fingerprinted. Ring has already been in trouble for misusing the video footage they record from user devices. This is not new or mysterious capability. It’s pedestrian, literally.
