West Seattle, Washington
09 Monday
The waxing crescent moon was part of a sky show again tonight:
If you weren’t looking up around 5:30 pm, this is what you missed. Christopher Boffoli sent the image above, and Robin Sinner sent the image below.
Will we see this again tomorrow? Part of the forecast looks like a rerun – dense morning fog followed by some sun.

A big holiday-season weekend is ahead in West Seattle – including the lighting of the city’s highest-elevation Christmas tree on Friday night, outside Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church at 35th/Myrtle. The lighting – with caroling, a food drive, Santa, and more – starts OLG’s three-day “Good Tidings Festival” – here’s the announcement we received:
Friday-LIGHT UP THE NIGHT, 6 pm-8 pm – Pizza for sale, kids craft tables, holiday gift and bake sale, singing of carols, lighting the tree, story time with Santa & hot chocolate & cookies!
Fri. 6-8 pm, Sat. 4-8 pm & Sunday 9 am-1 pm- HOLIDAY GIFT SALE. The sale will feature ethically sourced gifts and food, including chocolates, garden décor, nativities, jewelry, holiday décor, scarves and more. By buying Ethical Trade, you support the efforts of skilled farmers and artisans, empower communities, and affirm the dignity of the workers. The proceeds from the sale will benefit Our Lady of Guadalupe’s Outreach efforts in our community.
Sunday, 11 am – 1:30 pm – Feast Day Mass and Fiesta. Join us for Mass as we celebrate our Feast Day. The OLG Student Body will portray the Guadalupe story at the Mass and followed by our annual “Fiesta” – a delicious lunch hosted by the Multicultural Ministry and the Knights of Columbus. We will also have a “bouncy house” to keep our little ones occupied as we share conversation and community with our friends and parishioners.
You have until 6:45 to bid, until 7 pm to view, at the Rotary Club of West Seattle‘s Festival of Mini-Trees, happening right now at Brookdale Admiral Heights (2326 California SW). More than 20 trees are being auctioned to raise money for the Rotary’s community work. The trees have themes – like this one for Huskies fans:
You can enjoy beverages, treats, live acoustic holiday music, and just enjoy browsing the trees:
Other tree themes include everything from movies to coffee! Wreaths are being auctioned off. Everything was donated to support the Rotarians’ work with students and other community projects.

On Tuesday we reported on city crews at 9th/Henderson for an encampment “remediation.” Unified Care Team spokesperson Callie Craighead said the city’s tally of results would be available today. Here’s what she told us:
The Unified Care Team conducted an RV remediation at 9th SW and SW Henderson yesterday morning. There were 3 RVs at the location, and 2 moved voluntarily from the area prior to start of remediation. Our teams towed the one remaining RV and removed almost 2,200 pounds of debris from the site. Offers of shelter were made but none were accepted at that time.
I wanted to note that the 2 RVs that moved voluntarily moved several blocks away, so constituents may feel like the situation was not taken care of. UCT parking enforcement works to keep vehicles in compliance with the City’s 72-hour parking regulations and they will be closely monitoring this area.
A texter asked about a big police response near 18th/Dawson on Puget Ridge at midmorning. Took a while to get the info but here’s what happened, according to police: It was a person-in-crisis call involving a 20-year-old man who was reported to be armed with a knife and threatening at least one family member. He was then reported to be out on foot in the neighborhood, possibly under the influence; police responded, finding him and talking with him. They asked him if he had a knife on him and though he didn’t answer, officers say he eventually took out a sheathed knife – with a four-inch-long blade – and tossed it into grass nearby. He was taken into custody without incident, according to police, for investigation of domestic-violence felony harassment, which the report says is cause for a mandatory arrest. They later also found pepper-spray gel in the suspect’s possession, according to the report narrative. The suspect was booked into jail. No one was reported injured.
The West Seattle Giving Spirit sustains thousands of people in our neighborhoods – and in White Center too. Three times a week through year’s end, WSB is bringing you this special holiday-season opportunity to learn more about, and support, some of our area’s tireless nonprofits, in partnership with the Learning Communities Foundation. Today – White Center Pride, whose work stretches into West Seattle, not just centered south of the city-limit line:
At White Center Pride, our mission is to foster a diverse LGBTQIA+ community in White Center through year-round events, grassroots efforts, and community initiatives, creating an inclusive space for all.
We strive to help create a vibrant and welcoming White Center where LGBTQIA+ individuals are embraced, valued, and empowered to live authentically, contributing to a community that thrives on diversity and inclusivity.
Our 5th annual Pride Street Festival saw record attendance, more than one hundred vendors, highlighting the strength and unity of our community.
Please join us in celebrating our community spirit at our Winter Fundraiser: Ho-Ho-Ho-Down at the Lumberyard from 4 pm to 8 pm on Friday, December 6th, at the Lumberyard Bar. It’s a $20 donation and we’re planning a rocking good time with food, fun and friends.
We’re always looking for help for this and future events, so please reach out to info@whitecenterpride.org and let us know how you’d like to support us as a volunteer.

In addition to last month’s pre-Thanksgiving holiday “Taste,” West Seattle Thriftway (California/Fauntleroy; WSB sponsor) is inviting you to a second “Taste” event! It’s set for 4-7 pm tomorrow night (Thursday, December 5) with more than two dozen vendors around the store, offering samples of food – from snacks to main dishes to desserts – and beverages for you to consider as the holiday season continues. Free, all welcome! (Here’s our coverage of the pre-Thanksgiving “Taste” at Thriftway.)
11:58 AM: Thanks to teacher Vincent Della Pella for the photo! That’s the newly installed street mural on SW Dakota in front of Genesee Hill Elementary. The mural features fox tracks in honor of the school’s mascot, and we’re told the tracks were all designed by GHE students! (Students at GHE have been involved in a mural before, too – here’s our report on a 2023 project.)
12:45 PM: Just talked to GHE principal Liz Dunn by phone, and we learned the mural has quite a backstory – “three years in the making,” she says. It’s part of a “School Street” – closed to through traffic during school hours – she’s long been working toward, in collaboration with SDOT. After that was settled, principal Dunn says, she asked how she could get some art on the street, and SDOT worked with her on that too. The mural components are actually thermoplastic applied to the street, not paint (so we updated the original report to “installed” rather than “painted”). In addition to the fox pawprints, other aspects of the school’s logo – trees, books, music – are incorporated into the mural. Overall, Dunn says, it’s intended to help bring more joy to the school and its students. “This really frames the school beautifully!”
10:25 AM: Seattle Fire is sending a full “fire in building” response to the 9400 block of 18th SW, to investigate a possible fire. The initial dispatch described a “house filled with smoke.” Updates to come.
10:29 AM: First unit on scene is seeing “smoke in the area” and “acidic light haze in the basement,” and looking for the source.
10:33 AM: Firefighters say it’s a dryer fire and will be reducing the response.

Following up on the man arrested for allegedly robbing the Westwood Village McDonald’s last week – he isn’t charged in that case yet, but he’s being held on another case in which he is charged (that’s the warrant we mentioned the night of the arrest). He’s 36-year-old Cody L. Bowlin, charged back in October 2023 with three counts of ID theft linked to a stolen purse and attempts to use stolen cards at businesses in Burien. The case has a lengthy trail – he didn’t show up for his initial arraignment in late October of last year, so a warrant was issued. He was finally back in custody in January, but released to an alternative program after two weeks, with orders to report withn 24 hours. He never showed. Another warrant was issued in May; he wound up in custody in June and was sent to treatment in Spokane. He was released to another alternative program in July, and never showed up for that, so another warrant was issued in August. That’s what he was arrested on last week, besides the alleged robbery (after which, police say, they recovered the screwdriver he allegedly used as a weapon, plus the stolen cash box and “a plethora of burglary tools”). His current bail for the ID theft case is set at $15,000. Court records show no previous felony cases against him in King County.
Tonight’s Christmas lights spotlight shines on the roof of homes about a block east of Chief Sealth International High School, on the south side of Thistle [map]. The roof’s configuration is a perfect platform to line with inflatable Christmas characters.
Got a display to suggest? With or without photos? We’re planning a spotlight every night so we appreciate your tips as in years past, westseattleblog@gmail.com or text 206-293-6302.
Two West Seattle Festivals of Trees to tell you about tonight – one event tomorrow, and one with many chances to see the trees, plus both with ways for you to do more than look:
WEST SEATTLE ROTARY’S FESTIVAL OF MINI-TREES: Wednesday night (December 4) from 5 to 7 pm, be at Brookdale Admiral Heights (2326 California SW) to view and bid on more than 20 mini-trees! It’s the fourth year, says Rotary past president Kjersti Stroup:
Local businesses and community members donated 21 artificial trees and wreaths to this event, pre-lit and decorated in fun themes … On Wednesday, December 4, all are welcome to come by Brookdale from 5-7 to enjoy music and hors d’oeuvres, celebrate the holidays, and place silent bids on wreaths and tabletop trees! Bidding ends at 6:45 and winners can take home their items that night. There is no cost to attend, and all proceeds go directly to Rotary’s service foundation projects. These projects include providing new clothing and school supplies to local students, building clean stoves in Guatemala, awarding local scholarships, and much more!
FAUNTLEROY CHURCH’S FESTIVAL OF TREES: All month long, you can visit the Fauntleroy Church Fellowship Hall (9140 California SW) 9 am-noon Mondays-Thursdays, plus the hour before each of the church’s Christmas concerts, and admire the dozen-plus trees decorated mostly by church groups and families. Yere’s a few we photographed today:
That’s the penguin tree … below, the “trash tree”:
The “peace tree”:
And the Hazelwood Preschool (which rents space beneath the church) “gingerbread-man tree”:
Bring nonperishable food donations and use the cans/bags/boxes to “vote” for your favorite(s)! We’ll showcase more of the trees through the month. But go visit when you can!
If you have a view to the southwest, go see the waxing crescent moon! Christine K caught it – along with West Seattle and beyond – while landing about half an hour ago. Cold night ahead – forecast says we could drop into the upper 20s.
After defeating appointed incumbent Tanya Woo with 58 percent of the vote last month, Alexis Mercedes Rinck is now officially on the Seattle City Council. She’s had two swearings-in, including a ceremonial event as part of today’s City Council meeting. She will serve the final year of the unexpired term that Teresa Mosqueda gave up to run for King County Council, and then a full four-year term for citywide Position 8 will be on next year’s ballot, along with citywide Position 9, currently held by council president Sara Nelson. From the news release announcing Councilmember Mercedes Rinck’s swearing-in:
… “I am honored to join the Council and look forward to working with them to tackle our city’s most pressing challenges to create a Seattle that works for everyone,” said Councilmember Rinck. “The stakes for our city are high, and we must stand firm in defending the rights of women, LGBTQIA2S+ communities, immigrants, and workers against both federal threats and local challenges. Together, we can build a strong, healthy, and inclusive community.” …
Councilmember Rinck is committed to progressive revenue solutions, affordable housing, worker protections, public safety, and climate action. She has a clear plan to tackle Seattle’s budget crisis, expand housing supply to meet the city’s growing needs, and protect workers’ rights. Her public-safety approach focuses on building alternative responses and preventative measures as well as community engagement, while her climate action plan prioritizes equity and sustainability. ….
The new councilmember will serve as chair of the Sustainability, City Light, Arts & Culture committee and as vice-chair of the Libraries, Education & Neighborhoods committee. She will also be on the Housing and Human Services, Land Use, and Transportation committees. You can find her contact info here.

Sent by WSDOT today – word of one of the Highway 99 downtown tunnel’s periodic maintenance closures, and info on the work that’ll be done:
Both directions of the State Route 99 tunnel in Seattle will close from 10 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6, to 6 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 7, for maintenance.
The Washington State Department of Transportation will start closing northbound and southbound lanes at 9 p.m., with the tunnel fully closed by 10 p.m. Drivers going south on SR 99 will need to take the Harrison Street off-ramp, and northbound SR 99 drivers will need to take the Alaskan Way off-ramp. Also, the Sixth Avenue and Royal Brougham Way on-ramps will close at 9 p.m.
The closure will let crews do several important tasks, including:
-Cleaning drains.
-Lubing tunnel fans.
-Cleaning safety areas.
-Checking fire extinguishers.
-Testing data switches.
-Replacing coaxial cable connections.
-Troubleshooting dampers.
-Fixing lights.
-Repairing cameras.
-Fixing message signs.People traveling through downtown Seattle Friday night should use alternate routes.
Our photo shows work – with traffic flagging – continuing today on the Puget Sound Energy gas-pipeline project on the south end of Beach Drive SW. A commenter recently asked for a progress report, so we asked PSE after the holiday weekend. A spokesperson tells WSB, “Construction on the upgraded natural gas system will be finished mid-January 2025.” The commenter also wondered about restoration on the patched and plated cuts in the road; here’s what PSE tells us about that: “Due to weather, the final restoration will happen in April 2025. Once done, there will be updated ADA ramps, restriping of the fog and yellow centerline and road improvements, along with the updated natural-gas system.” Work started more than half a year ago, two years later than originally planned because of what PSE attributed to permitting delays. The work (shown in section-by-section detail here) was originally projected to be done by now.
Police are responding to a report of mail theft a short time ago. According to the dispatch, two or three trays of mail are reported to have been stolen from a USPS truck near 42nd/Graham. The thief/thieves are reported to be in a white Lincoln SUV with Florida plates, possibly a “rental vehicle” per dispatch. Call 911 if you have any info.

11:05 AM: Thanks for the texted tip. City crews are working this morning at 9th/Henderson [map], where RVs have camped for months. We went over for these photos after the tip. As is usual, the operation includes multiple city departments, SPD included.
The texter told us, “… The 9th and Henderson RV camp was partially moved today. The city is out there now. However they just moved from the interaction north of Henderson to maybe 75 feet away to now being on the west side of the intersection of Henderson. This encampment has in some variation been here since February. When they cleared out Trenton a few moved here.”
The texter said a car had already been towed this morning; we saw one tow truck standing by in the area. We’ll be checking with the Unified Care Team later in the day for a summary.
ADDED TUESDAY EVENING: A UCT spokesperson says info from this “remediation” – a description that suggests it was more a cleanup operation than a sweep – will be provided tomorrow. Meantime, if you’re interested, the city released its third-quarter homelessness-related data today.
