Over the years I have sent emails to a succession of mayors asking for help and have worked with a succession of Animal Control managers. I sent this a few minutes ago to our council member in the hopes that he can do something.

Dear Council Member Rasmussen,

As you may have noticed over the years on the West Seattle Blog, West Seattle has a problem with off leash dogs roaming and attacking people or other pets. The latest incident was last night at Lincoln Park.

https://westseattleblog.com/forum/topic/rant-dog-attackoff-leash-dogs-at-lincoln-park

I have been in touch with Animal Control (Tracy Bahrakis) about my concerns for years and have reported many violations that I have seen at various West Seattle Parks. I have been bitten myself.

I have email documentation going back 5 years of reports to Animal Control.

I am writing you today to ask for help. This problem is out of control and despite citizen efforts to help solve the problem, off leash violations happen multiple times per day and attacks happen far too frequently.

not sure if I want to thank you for the diversion this year or ask for the names of who came to get it. ;)

Interesting reading.

As a Parks Advocate, and Community Activist, much of what we have in West Seattle has been hard fought with blood, sweat, and tears both around the table, and with hands in the dirt.

This proposal would change the way we look at and use areas of land designated by our predecessors and ourselves for natural purposes. The inclusion of bikes and other disruptive devices would do harm not only to the physical environment ( think here more money to sustain and higher taxes) and nature’s environment of birds, animal, insect, etc, but only ourselves. That is a high risk venue.

Watching how well people disobey the law about cell phone usage and texting, makes me very concerned about the lawsuits springing up because Parks allowed a biker to do his or her think, going out of control, and injuring some man, women, child or dog…. or maybe the last species of a species of bird, animal, or plant.

Having lived in a natural area for over 45 years, the wild life in Seattle is very precious. Once gone, it will not be recreated. Think Washington, DC.

It is not enough to set aside a bike trail in the midst of a green belt, when that area is populated by owls, eagle, peregrine falcons, raccoons, coyotes, and oh yes, the cougar that once in a while comes down from the mountains.

I think bikers should have their fun, but not at the risk to an already endangered, at risk environment.

Please, if you want to change the City’s proposal, sign this petition.

Posting for Jana:

“My kids and I came across these bone like, heavy rocks while on our beach walk today. Could they be bones of a whale or something, dinosaur!!? They have interesting dips and angles, and are really concave like hip bones. Very dense and heavy. What are your thoughts, West Seattle?

Also, we came across a (dead) baby octopus and a ton of moon snails today, we live in such a beautiful place, what a fun day!”

You can help! West Seattle-filmed ‘Present Perfect’ almost done

Just looked in on this (I’m writing a story right now about an unrelated crowdfunding effort) and am glad to see she’s passed the goal, which means she gets the money (Kickstarter is a “make your goal or get nothing” setup), and is likely to get more because somewhere along the line, national media jumped in. Very cool.

I Wonder, I don’t know if the crappy patch jobs would be considered “minor” road repair, but this might be a start:

https://seattle-csrprodcwi.motorolasolutions.com/ServiceRequest.mvc/SRIntakeStep2?id=TRPOTHOL

It looks like there is an option to comment, somewhere with in the reporting process, so I would definitely make a point of mentioning the name of the company that did the lousy job, and perhaps suggesting to SDOT that the company be forced to come back and do it right, and immediately, or that SDOT repair it properly, and bill the offending Co. for the full cost.

Heck, if the offending Co. is known, I’d be tempted to write them a firm, but polite note too.

This was one of my biggest peeves back when I had a car, or otherwise was driving regularly. Mainly, I think, because it seemed like every time the City was able to do a nice repaving job on a significant section of road, it wasn’t long at all before some utility Co. was in there tearing it up, doing a totally crappy and inadequate patch-up, and we’d get Seattle’s latest repeating pothole.

Reader photo was included here:

5 things for the rest of your West Seattle Tuesday, + 3 geese

I have never heard a story about one person “placing” the geese. Following is the story that was told during a triple-digit comment thread about a dog attacking one of the geese in 2012:

Lincoln Park ‘resident goose’ attacked by dog, readers report

All I know firsthand is that white goose/geese have been there at least 15 years or so. My kid and I would see them down at Cove Park (reopening soon!!!!) during walks down the hill in his toddler days. Could have been around long before that, but it’s the clearest memory I have.

If Wakeflood or anyone else has any idea how to reach the person he mentioned (from Anacortes? why here, then?), that certainly would be a story of interest. – TR

There are several excellent Child Therapists in the West Seattle area. Therapists in West Seattle are pretty well connected. Below are links to names of child therapists I can vouch for personally.

webshaf, I just did a quick scan of the Westcrest Dog Park Facebook Page, and didn’t see a mention.

Maybe your dog friend’s humans could join the page, if they are Facebookers, and ask there and also give a heads-up to other Westcrest regulars.

I *just* got this note. Can someone (a) help or (b) suggest a closer place people could take this poor little bird?

=========

We found a baby Barn Swallow at our work ( on SW Avalon Way)last evening that had fallen from a very high place at one of our buildings. I called PAWS wildlife center and they said to put it in a makeshift nest overnight to see if the parents come back to take care of it. Well, they didn’t come back and there are no other babies in the nest anymore. We are trying to feed it, but PAWS said to bring it to them if the parents don’t return overnight. The problem is we are all working and can’t drive to Lynnwood.

We have tried to feed it, and it ate a tiny bit, but seems to be getting weaker. We have it in an office in a box on a heating pad with a blanket, but it really needs to get to PAWS so they can take care of it. Is there any way you could post this so a volunteer might step up and drive him/her;) up there. It is in one of our offices at 2988 SW Avalon Way. Attached is a photo of the baby. Thank you so much. We know it won’t survive if it isn’t taken to PAWS.

According to post #7, what the guy did is likely illegal. If not illegal, he’s certainly an a** anyway. 911 completely justified.

As to post #10, if I’m in a bar or restaurant and someone comes in carrying a gun, I think I’d be quite justified in fearing for my life, and leaving immediately would certainly be a reasonable response. Whether other people think that action is reasonable or justified is irrelevant as far as I’m concerned. I’m more concerned for my safety that I am about what others think of me.

And finally…

I realize this has already been posted on the main home page, but in case you missed it, here it is again. It’s a beautiful short clip about the inter-generational program at Mount St. Vincent and with financial support, it will be turned into a full length documentary. Please consider donating or spreading the word via social media.

The jurisdiction over this area is (a) Coast Guard permitted the barge (b) Seattle Police supposedly can police noise. Friday night’s concert was an event with a city special-events permit, per the city Special Events calendar, and it was organized by the Vashon-based advocacy group Backbone Campaign. They had a twitter exchange with someone who pleaded for them to keep it down and they said they would. The website is here and might have direct contact info if you haven’t already found it:

Just noticed they seem to have another event planned for Friday. Of course, the Polar Pioneer could be gone by then – its departure window has been reported to open around June 10th (Wednesday).

Is it related to the project (I assume you mean the Intracorp project)? If so, start with the contractor (Exxel Pacific, whose on-site office is in the days-are-numbered commercial building across the street). Then the developer, Intracorp. If it’s a road problem, SDOT would have issued a Street Use Permit – 206-684-ROAD. Finally, the project itself would be governed by DPD.

The site superintendent’s e-mail and phone are in the original “construction starting” bulletin and they are provided for that purpose. We published them and the flyer in this story:

Demolition to start Tuesday for block-long 3210 California SW, now ‘Admiral East Apartments’
