i do’t think they will even answer your call unless there is absolutely nothing else for them to do…and if they do answer the call they have to actually catch them in the act.

i don’t know what they do abut the calls that report gunshots.. it’s hard to tell the difference

[HMC Rich]

OK. The answer is simple. When the Seahawks win or it is the 4th of July, New Years. start shooting fireworks off next to (not at) the Police Precincts, City Council Member houses, King County Members homes, The Mayor, Prosecuting Attorneys and a few others in government who need to HEAR you.

[HMC Rich]

At least they didn’t riot in the streets like they did in Philadelphia. And it’s not like the SPD is going to do anything about it either. Maybe I am wrong but does anyone get fined here for fireworks use? I haven’t heard anything.

Oh my gosh, 20 mph on the Alki trail? I never go more than 7, if that. If I need to go that fast I’m on the road. I agree that drivers are jerks and want us off the road, but pedestrians always have the right of way. We must always slow for them. Having grown up in So Cal, I think of Alki as the closest thing we have to a boardwalk. Boardwalks are for cruising. Having cycled a lot in the Netherlands, I know what a dedicated bike path looks like, and Alki is not it. You can find some protected bike lanes in other parts of Seattle (not in West Seattle , grr) that are obviously bike lanes. Mixed use means mixed use. Also, the Myrtle Edwards trail is also flat and along the water. It’s also mixed use.

As you can see by my “handle” I rescue birds. I know there is another person in West Seattle who does so also. Please contact me at

Thanks.

As someone who rides everyday, I think you are severely misinformed. The Alki Trail is a multi-use trail, not a bike trail. As such, you are required to yield to pedestrians, even if what they do pisses you off. It is not a place for hard charging. If you want to ride 20 mph, ride in the street with the rest of us. Your rant is nothing but an entitled whine that makes cyclisst sounds like jerks.

As a cyclist who battles for space on the local roads I would say that 20mph on the bike path may be a trifle excessive. Hell, cruising among the peds at 15mph feels dodgy. If I’m cruising around Alki at those speeds I’m on the road. I feel this is not just for the safety of other, it’s for my safety. I know, I know, I’m selfish, the problem I continually run into (get it?) is that if I slam into a pedestrian or a stroller is that I’ll not only be liable, in spite of the clearly marked demarcations and physical divisions between bike path and pedestrian path, is I’ll get hurt. I cope with that by diving into the road way and taking my chances there. In my experience drivers are predictable. That mom walking her stroller and lab while jabbering on her phone via earbuds and slurping down some Starbucks has no awareness that I’m coming up on her in spite of my bellowing “ON YOUR RIGHT!!!” at the top of my lungs. When she veers suddenly or her dog bolts or the child leaps out of the stroller to make a break for it I’m sucking pavement and I’ll be liable.

There are places where the bike path is the way but around Alki? Probably not.

Stopped in yesterday after a great show at ART’s West. Best falafel I have found in this city. Great Lamb gyro and mousse. I took home shakshouka and can’t wait for brunch on Sunday.

Seeing as this is Seattle, and complaining about bicycles is a time-honored tradition among motorists, I thought maybe I could offer a cyclist’s perspective.

I live near Alki. I work downtown. My bicycle is my primary mode of transportation, exercise and recreation. I do not own a vehicle. In fact, I moved to this part of town in part because I wanted to integrate cycling into my commute. Like most cyclists in this neighborhood, I use the Alki Trail, which keeps me away from cars who don’t want to share the road with cyclists anyways. So far so good, right?

Well, apparently not. Just yesterday I passed a jogger on the trail (which is fine, it’s mixed use), who snidely remarked “why don’t you slow down?!” to me as rode by. I was so taken aback by this absurd comment that I actually circled back to talk to the guy. He apparently saw me coming back, and quickly high-tailed it across the street (in true Seattle, passive-aggressive fashion). I wasn’t planning on intimidating him, I honestly wanted to answer his question face to face, because this is a constant annoyance for me.

Yes, I do need to go fast. I have a tight commuting schedule and when I bike for exercise I also need to ride fast. Usually I cruise about 15 mph, sometimes up to 20 while on the trail, but rarely faster than that because there are just too many people not paying attention. What’s more, this is my right as a cyclist. Car drivers are constantly complaining that bike riders are still on the street ignoring the nice new cycle tracks and bike lanes. Well here I am. A genuine cyclist using a bicycle path for biking. Who woulda thunk?

So let me go ahead and shout this out loud: That trail is a ROAD for cyclists. We have no other route to go from Alki. That is it. So for those of us who truly commute (or just choose to recreationally bike), we need to go fast on that trail. Yes, it is a “mixed use” trail, but its primary and original function of that path was as a dedicated lane for bicycles (there are walking paths on the side). To tell a cyclist to slow down on a bicycling path is like jogging in the middle of the street and yelling at the cars to go slower. If you jog in the bike path, you’re going to have bike zipping by you at 10-20 mph. That’s. What. It’s. For.

Now, since everyone likes to complain about cyclists breaking traffic laws, sliding past cars, blowing stop signs, etc., let me share with you the things I see on a daily basis on that trail: people walking in the bike trail, sometimes spread out over the ENTIRE path, moms with three strollers wide blocking most of the path, people walking dogs, letting the dog’s leash extend all the way over the trail (a dangerously common sight), families spread out over the trail letting small children run all over it, people jogging / walking / rollerskating on the wrong side of the path, creating bottlenecks, people walking in the middle of the path, rollerskating moms with two strollers and a dog taking up the entire path, giant groups of tourists hogging the whole trail, etc. etc. etc.

I mean I could go on forever. Mostly these people are 1) not paying any attention to their surroundings, 2) have headphones or earbuds in, 3) have no concept that they are on a bike route and need to yield space for cyclists to pass. Meanwhile, I am expected to shout “on your left” or ring a bike bell to everyone else on the path (whether they should be there or not), even if make no effort to ever look behind them. I’ve had to dodge dog s***, broken glass, needles and unsupervised toddlers left to wander unattended on the trail. On more than one occasion I’ve had small children run straight in front of my moving bike and nearly crashed trying to avoid them. Would you let your kids just run out into the middle of the street? What would people say about parents who were that neglectful?

But whatever, I mostly don’t complain because what’s the point? Who to even complain to? It’s just one of those things you shrug and sigh at, but move on. All I can do is keep cycling.

And this is what I want to say to that jogger (and to anyone else who thinks bikes go “too fast” on the Alki Trail): I am not slowing down and I’m not taking guff from people like you who think the trail belongs to them alone. There is no speed limit on Seattle bike trails, and nor should there be. Cyclists have the right to commute and recreate at velocity. It’s called a bike trail for a reason. Learn the etiquette, stay on the right, pay attention, and you will be fine. But you’re going to have fast bicycles zipping by you if you run in the bleeping BIKE TRAIL. This is the only piece of pavement we have in this cyclo-phobic city that is completely at level grade and on the water, and it is the only bicycle connection from Alki to downtown.

So if you want bikes off the road, then they need to be on bike trails. And they need to go fast for trips to be efficient. We’re not going anywhere. We’re not slowing down for you. Get used to it.

RANT OVER. Thanks for reading!

My dog absolutely loses his mind with fireworks, but I hate the Patriots so much I joked that if the Eagles won and people started shooting off fireworks, I’d just deal with the barking. Sure enough, as soon as the game was over we started hearing fireworks, but my dog didn’t make a peep. Guess he hates the Pats, too.

[WSB]

All over the city, per the scanner. People were reporting them as gunshots, of course.

About one-third of the pile remains; help yourself to free wood chips / mulch. The pile is right next to the street and sidewalk on 30th Avenue SW between Kenyon & Elmgrove.

I recommend giving us a little more information like the nature of the sign; business or building name? Do you want a local artist or a chain sign store?

If you’re looking for local, the stand out icon of West Seattle is Sign Savant aka Jaffe Witte. I’m a design geek. This guy is a master of old school sign making. His work is everywhere in Seattle.

Thank You for your poignant letter. I sincerely hope that the fight for your partner is turning for the better. And most business owners I have spoken to who sell sweetened drinks just shake their heads and say that it is hurting their business.

[birdrescuer]

There are many examples of Danny not showing up when he says he would or not completing work. He is NOT reliable. And yes, we are from West Seattle and know when we are being scammed.
