In reply to: Stolen Car – Alaska ferry to catch
wsgolferMemberWell, I called and spoke to Annie. I also tried to call the non emergency number of the SPD, but was told to call back in a couple of hours because of the “emergency situation in West Seattle” (likely https://westseattleblog.com/2010/08/traffic-alert-arbor-heights-police-negotiation-road-blocked).
I hope you get your car back!
WSBKeymasterHi.
Sorry to hear about the burglary.
We don’t publish exact addresses so after being flagged to this post, I edited yours to take out two digits.
The e-mail/call link for how to send in a Crime Watch report is at the top of the Crime Watch page
https://westseattleblog.com/crime-watch
same as our other contact.
Miws, we don’t own wsb.com – that’s a TV station in Atlanta :) – we’re at editor@westseattleblog.com
I have a Crime Watch roundup at some point today so we will link this report.

WSBKeymasterWe heard on Saturday about a protest inside the local Target store, not till afterward though and couldn’t verify, so we didn’t write about it – but tonight a video has been produced and is making its way around the interwebs. Just published on the home page.

sam-cParticipantFrom a May 3, 2010 WSB home page story:
“Almost three weeks ago, more than 200 people voiced their opinion in the comment section when we reported that the vegetarian restaurant Chaco Canyon Café is considering a West Seattle expansion in the Link project now going up – fast! – along 38th SW in The Triangle.”
and the April 2010: article:
Vegetarian restaurant considers West Seattle, wants your opinion
there is definitely support for that type of place in West Seattle.

WSBKeymasterFor anyone interested in this issue, I have finally finished an almost-a-week-in-progress story re: where it all stands, including a pre-hearing conference Tuesday on an appeal filed by a group that I believe is separate from the group that’s created the FB page. It’s link-rich for anyone who wants to follow trails to online documents in the case, zoning-process explanation, the history dating back to when this was first announced (actually it wasn’t really announced – we found it first just popping up in the twice-weekly Land Use Information Bulletin one November day in 2007), etc. The key date ahead remains the August 18th Hearing Examiner public hearing, which is at the Municipal Tower downtown; that also is the deadline for comments, pro, con, or otherwise.

charlabobParticipantPamphlets are sent out third class mail to houses, not to individual voters. Ballots are sent out first class to individual voters.
We didn’t get pamphlet yet either — maybe today.
I have to say, I used to complain when they came early because, by the time I got the ballot I lost the pamphlet. :-)
If you want information right away, on the candidates specific to you, go to the elections site, and scroll down below Cheryl Huff’s picture. You can fill in your name and get the upper level info for candidates on your ballot. Click on the candidate name to see the voter information for that person.

MargLMemberYes! I brought this fence up in a different thread 5 months ago…
https://westseattleblog.com/forum/topic/drivers-not-paying-attention-at-roxbury-30th-ave-sw
Luckymom was meeting with SDOT about safety improvements for crossing the street there.
So you’ve talked to the City, too?
I think it’s an issue but there is a stoplight that you can wait for, or do like some folks I’ve seen and cut thru the gas station lot…

WSBKeymasterHi all, we also mentioned this on White Center Now days ago and it was on the WSB home page this morning. Almost every day, we have a morning preview, and you can trust that if there’s something unusual like this, it’ll be in there.
https://westseattleblog.com/2010/07/west-seattle-wednesday-high-point-produce-34th-dems-more
While it was happening, we also reported it in the power-outage thread, fwiw.
And if you want to check White Center news without leaving WSB, just click the White Center tab, which displays White Center Now stories (set up to bring them in via RSS) … Jubilee Days & fireworks was the third thing down

So sorry this happened to you and your family!
https://westseattleblog.com/forum/topic/dog-rescue-peeps-urgent-help-please
Interestingly enough, I saw this couple on foot with their child and pit again while driving down Trenton @ about 26th… followed them to Westwood to confirm and was just hoping to maybe see an officer but I didn’t. I drove the nearby neighborhood to try to find the car so I could report an address but unfort. I had no luck.

July 12, 2010 at 4:30 am #698813In reply to: Rant: Extremely Loud Music from Festival
WSBKeymasterAnybody care about a semi-behind-the-scenes perspective?
We spent virtually the entirety of the festival next to one of the stages – this year, the southernmost stage was moved to right in front of Key Bank. Last year it was on Alaska east of California. Previous year (and I can’t remember before that) it was at the Edmunds end of California. Also, disclosure, we are festival co-sponsors.
Sound DOES carry oddly in West Seattle. We are over the Fauntleroy ferry dock/Lincoln Park and yet we can hear the trains at night, all the way over from Harbor Island, despite the fact that means the sound has to carry over three ridges.
Anyway, if you have an opinion to express to the Junction Association, I’m sure they will appreciate a clear, simple “I live at X and the music was very loud at X time on X day/night.” Perhaps they will be able to compare that to feedback from years gone by when making the decisions for next year. There were many changes made and there will certainly be a feedback/debrief period coming up. There were even tweaks made during the festival – we know this because, since we were part of the info booth, we heard about some of the concerns expressed/actions taken.
For example, on the first morning, even before most festivalgoers arrived, it was clear that the main sponsor’s booth needed to ratchet down the music and continuous live sales pitch. They did. The music volume at the Alaska stage (near where we were) was experimented with, too, looking for a happy medium.
There are more outdoor concerts to come in West Seattle this summer and other neighborhoods will have to deal with those. Alki has at least three; Admiral has the Thursday night series ahead; Providence Mount St. Vincent has its August Friday night concerts. Just so you all know. Also, the Saturday night outdoor movies in The Junction (by Hotwire) start next Saturday night.
P.S. Gina, we’re nowhere near as native as you and yet I also remember when it was just a sleepy little sidewalk sale. We went one year and never bothered going back. The Junction Association took a turn a few years back to make this a bigger, better festival. Before we even had Forums, in March of 2007, Dave Montoure of West 5, on behalf of WSJA, asked if we would put out the question, what do you like/dislike about Summer Fest?
40 comments was a lot for WSB for March 2007 (our traffic last year was six times what it was that year). But take a look at those comments
https://westseattleblog.com/2007/03/think-summer#comments
and see how it’s evolved. And help it keep evolving.
