Certainly much has changed in those five years (back then, the building that houses LA Fitness was known as “The Hole” and no one knew when it would become more than a stalled excavation)!

I guarantee it was Vox Mod :-) He didn’t take the stage itself but was in the tent closer to the beer garden. Pics here: https://twitter.com/HorsepowerD/status/620265461272281088

According to the schedule, DJ Lance played on Friday night, not Saturday.

A woman browsing T-shirts at the Info Booth this past weekend was wearing a shirt that read West Seattle Summerfest 2006. (sic – it’s now Summer Fest)

I don’t know if the name changed that year, or earlier, but it traces back at least that far. Some of its evolution involved a comment discussion here on WSB in our early days – March 2007, Dave Montoure was chairing the festival-planning committee, and asked us to ask for suggestions: https://westseattleblog.com/2007/03/think-summer/

Thanks for the criticism, pussy cat.

Not worried about getting my money’s worth, just seeing this forum dominated by spam making it difficult to get to the real stuff so figured it was worth my while to ask the question.

Looks like I’m not the only one:

The perception of how much development is going on really depends on what part of West Seattle you’re in.

Take a look at this map, which charts development in Seattle overall. If you look around the Junction, yeah, the pins overlap each other because there’s so much development going on. But look at other parts of West Seattle, including the ostensibly overbuilt Alki? Hardly anything. My own neighborhood hasn’t seen a new construction project for at least a few years, and the last one was built on a previously vacant lot. My next door neighbors have lived in their house their entire lives.

The majority of Seattle is zoned for single-family residential. These multifamily apartment buildings and condos are being built in relatively small, concentrated areas. Don’t believe me? Look at the zoning map.

I do agree with comments regarding the infrastructure. That’s a problem all over the city, not just in West Seattle. We’re squeezed between a lake and a bay, with a few more lakes and a river for good measure. What do you want to see, infrastructure-wise? A bigger bridge? Light rail? More park and rides?

Hi, if you are on Facebook, you may want to check out Friends of Morgan Junction Park’s Page. I believe they clean, and tend to the plants at the Thriftway Triangle Park, as well as maintaining MJ Park:

As far as the others, I know I’ve read on the WSB Main Page in the past, of a group that would, at least occasionally, tend to the triangle at Juneau St.

I seem to recall that the Senior Gentleman who, IIRC, may have initiated a clean up, passing away last year. I don’t recall anymore details of the Volunteers/Group(s) that would help tend to that.

Hope this helps!

A cursory search found this from a few years ago, which is probably still mostly up to date:

Bumping this.

There was just fire callout to an apartment building about a block-ish to the southwest of me:

UPDATE: Fire outside 17th SW apartments, out quickly

According to the report at this time, it was caused by a cigarette discarded into a bush, and a deck was scorched.

Besides this, which was relatively minor, and the one that Jan mentions above, there was a fire at an apartment building on Monday, in the Manette neighborhood of Bremerton, which made 15 people Homeless. It was caused by carelessly discarded cigarettes:

http://www.kitsapsun.com/news/fire-marshal-apartment-fire-caused-by-discarded-cigarette-butts_61409717

These other two incidents, especially the Manette one, reinforce the importance of Jan’s message.
