They’ve actually been delivering to that zip code and many other areas of West Seattle since mid-November, when we were first to report the news here on WSB:

Just added a new “adoptable pet” to the Pets page:

https://westseattleblog.com/blog/?page_id=4996

His name is Arthur and he’s from Homeward Pet, an Eastside rescue shelter run by a West Seattle guy who sends us new pet listings from time to time (the last guy, “Randy,” just got a new home, yay!).

Also added a line of direct links atop the Pets page so you can jump directly to adoptable pets or lost/found or resources OR the ever-cool widget with pix from the WSB Pet Photos Flickr group, replacing our previous “scroll down” plea — TR

We’ve been having this discussion on the home page under the post about the caucus. Alternates apparently are expected to be there – or at least it’s hoped you will be.

I have a message out to the 34th DD’s to see if they have a final official word.

Here is my semi-educated guess. Sorry no actual facts, these things tend to be impossible to look up (even back at the tv station, calls to Fort Lewis/McChord duty officers were tough to get thru the info-wall):

Last time this happened it was because of a military salute at Safeco Field.

Looking up the plan for Mariners’ home opener Tuesday, it’s Salute to Armed Forces Night

(The Mariners are proud to honor the men and women of the U.S. Armed Services. The evening will feature a special pre-game ceremony beginning at 6:30pm. – is the official description on the Mariners’ website)

I would bet you dimes to dollars this was rehearsal. Last time they staged off Alki and roared in.

Even if somehow this wasn’t related, be prepared for something similar on Tuesday — here’s our post from last year:

It came up when I put

The search box doesn’t do boolean (since we are very well-indexed on Google if you think you need to try a boolean query, you can go there too) but it does a pretty good job otherwise.

I would usually put up a PET ALERT item at upper right atop the sidebar to let people know a new lost/found/adoptable pet’s been added to the Pets page, but I want to keep the viaduct reminder up there all weekend, so I’m posting this here. If you get a sec, go to

and scroll down to the first lost pet – you’ll see a photo of Kit, whose owner only had him a week before he got away — TR

We have the definitive West Seattle list on our Events page, as mentioned on our home page this morning. We work very hard to keep the Events page updated with everything we can possibly find out about what’s going on in WS at all times (currently it lists events all the way through October).

And to the specific question, yes, there is an egg hunt on Saturday at Lincoln Park, sponsored by a church, as well as one at a grocery store and the ones at every WS community center. Can’t vouch for any other sites. Note the Saturday hunts, which have their own section on this page

https://westseattleblog.com/blog/?page_id=3402

then the Sunday hunts that churches are offering (click through the Events page to the West Seattle Easter Sunday Services page, or directly here:

https://westseattleblog.com/blog/?page_id=6358

I hate to beat our own drum too much but I guess I have to. Citywide lists like citywide papers or whatever this Red Tricycle is, are not going to have everything specific at a neighborhood level. That’s where we come in (or our counterparts in other neighborhoods). And if there’s info you CAN’T find here at WSB that you’re interested in – PLEASE e-mail us at any time and if we don’t have it, we’ll find it:

Since they wrote us about this a couple days ago, it’s also linked from the Blogs roundup:

Friendly reminder that our Events page lists almost every known event in West Seattle for months to come … some because people send us listings, some because we relentlessly cruise hundreds of WS-related websites.

https://westseattleblog.com/blog/?page_id=3402

That page lists all the community center hunts (the link to the name of each center takes you to its “Special Events” webpage for more details), and indeed, they all start at 10 am 3/22.

Also, we have a listing for the Thriftway hunt, “ages 0-10” (while the community centers appear to be 3 and up), indeed beginning at 9 am (the link on the Events page listing goes to a Thriftway page about the hunt).

Hey friends:

Parks and police reps visit Westcrest for a safety check

Comment by My2cents — March 11, 08 6:03 pm #

Community members regularly using or walking through problem areas provides a “tried and true” method for displacing unwanted/antisocial behaviors. The more people avoid an area and leave it to those involved in anti-social or unwanted activity, the more the problems will dominate. If people involved in the activity feel they may be seen and their behavior will be reported, they will be less likely to choose that place as a refuge for that particular activity. Jane Jacobs, other community activists, sociologists and criminologists have researched the displacement of nuisance and illegal activity by community members, and shown how a few determined people can truly “take back the streets,” or in this case, a park. The concept is referred to as Community Activation, one of the strategies of “CPTED,” or Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, and used by neighbors and police departments all over the world.

I hope this isn’t against any rules, but I’ve copied my2cents comment made on the main page regarding Westcrest Park because I think it is important for all of us to read (click on the above link to read the write-up by our excellent WSB staff Patrick Sand and other comments).

I participated in the walk through on Tuesday and voiced my opinions to Cheryl Fraser from the Parks Dept. Cheryl instigated the walk through and is very open to ideas, suggestions and community action to improve conditions at Westcrest Park.

I’d like to float an idea out on the forum and hear what you all think. What if the big meadow above the dog park was improved into a soccer practice field and made available to Highline & West Seattle Soccer association? This would generate a lot more positive activity and exposure in the park. You can send your thoughts about this idea to:

Raft.Hollingsworth@seattle.gov who is our Ballfield Coordinator and Dennis.Cook@seattle.gov who is the athlete field manager.

Finally, I’d like the Seattle Mounted Police to ride their horses daily through the woods at Westcrest and cite any illegal activity. The horse barns are located right there next to the woods, this seems like a no brainer to me.

Several have notched more, including pit bulls and Nicholas Francisco. This one is the all-time recordholder:

If not … it might also help if you mentioned something about which neighborhood you’re in — definitely different bird presence in different parts of West Seattle.

This discussion got a bit lost with the election talk last month, so I wanted to update the reply I received.

For the original discussion on traffic circle rules and yielding here in the forum, you can see https://westseattleblog.com/blog/forum/topic.php?id=191&replies=19

I had said I would be contacting SDOT to find out the answer on enforcement of “short left turns” in traffic circles, and this was their reply:

“Thank you for your inquiry regarding the rules pertaining to left turns at neighborhood traffic circles. You are correct that the Washington Driver Guide (and the state law that the guide implements), does not distinguish between

neighborhood traffic circles and roundabouts.

Practically speaking, a left turn can be performed safely in front of a neighborhood traffic circle since they are typically located on low traffic volume and low speed residential streets, unlike roundabouts, which control traffic flow on higher volume arterials.

However, under a strict interpretation of the Driver Guide and state laws, this is not a legal left turn, and similarly to roundabouts, a driver turning left at a neighborhood traffic circle should proceed counterclockwise around the traffic circle, rather than turning left in front of the circle.

We recognize that this issue causes confusion, and the City will be working this year toward clarifying the distinction between neighborhood traffic circles and roundabouts in state law, addressing the issue in the Seattle Municipal

Code, or both.”

So I read this as yeah, you’ll probably get away with it because we usually ignore it, but it’s technically not legal to make the short left and you COULD get a ticket for it if somebody is bored and wants to write a ticket.

We had a few recommendations back in October

Personally, we go to the place that’s in The Junction near Yummy Teriyaki and the coin laundry. I can never remember its name. They have done a great job with everything we’ve ever taken to them.
