SEATTLE PEOPLE |

WEST SEATTLE POLICE

One more note from DELRIDGE DAY: That’s where SEATTLE POLICE presented this year’s OUTSTANDING COMMUNITY MEMBER AWARDS for the Southwest Precinct area. The honorees: TERRY HIRATA is senior housing manager for the Seattle Housing Auhority in High Point. SPD expressed appreciation because he “has helped establish and maintain trust with the police and High Point

residents.”

KAREN BERGE and DEB GREER lead the WEST SEATTLE BLOCK WATCH CAPTAINS NETWORK , hailed by SPD because they “work with the Crime Prevention Coordinator to disseminate information to our community members, and create and maintain Block Watch groups throughout our precinct.” LORA RADFORD, executive director of the WEST SEATTLE JUNCTION ASSOCIATION , was honored for launching our area’s first BUSINESS BLOCK WATCH and serving as “a wonderful point of contact for the Alaska Junction businesses in the Block Watch and for the SW Precinct Community Police Team.”

_(Photo

courtesy Karen Berge/Deb Greer)_ That’s us, your WSB co-publishers, PATRICK SAND and TRACY RECORD. We received appreciation for “disseminat(ing) an immense amount of information, including meetings and event announcements, crime prevention newsletters, and crime and offender patterns.” Publishing lots of info, quickly, accurately, and ethically, is our job – our mission – and we’re glad to still be doing it after almost 12 years. We especially appreciate continued community collaboration – reader reports, tips, questions … thank you, and thanks to SPD for

the recogniion.

P.S. In the photos, at left and right respectively, are SPD Assistant Chief ERIC GREENING and SW Precinct Operations Commander Lt. STEVE

On a quiet Saturday night, turkey sightings to share: That photo was sent by MONICA ZABORAC, who spotted The WEST SEATTLE TURKEY (aka ADMIRAL BELVIDERE

)

atop a car. The Turkey seems to have a taste for dandelions, as noticed by West Seattle visitor TOMMY JAMISON: Tommy is visiting from Auxtin, Texas; friend DAN CISKE forwarded the photo. Another round of dandelion snacking was caught on video by ROB

BRABY:

The turkey’s origins remain a mystery, after 3 1/2 months of

WEST SEATTLE FESTIVALS

| WEST SEATTLE

NEWS

11:38 AM: The rain’s gone, the sun’s trying to emerge, and DELRIDGE DAY 2019 is on! Above, Khmer dancers launched the festival’s CULTURAL STAGE performances. The rest of the schedule: > 11:45 am – Brazilian Dancers > 12:30 pm – John Fanene, Polynesian singer > 1:15 pm – Jazz Night School band The Cultural Stage is on the north side of DELRIDGE COMMUNITY CENTER PARK (Delridge/Genesee/26th). Next to the center is the music stage, where YESOD is playing now, to be followed by: > Noon – The Slags > 1 pm – Mode Music Studios students > 2 pm – Joe Brazil Legacy Jazz Band Also here: Dozens of community organizations and vendors with booths/tables, the URBAN SURVIVAL SKILLS FAIR, SOUTHWEST PRECINCT police-presented Picnic, a backpack giveaway with EASTRIDGE CHURCH inside the center… … and more. It’s all on until 3 pm. One change because of the rain: The skateboarding competition at the skatepark will start at 2

pm.

12:06 PM: Brazilian dancers are on the Cultural Stage now: Elsewhere on the festival grounds, you can learn while having fun – preparedness is anything but dull at the Urban Survival Skills Fair (look for the BIG tent): The festival isn’t called Delridge Day only on behalf of its location – you can find out about east West Seattle groups and activities too. Next to our booth, HIGHLAND PARK IMPROVEMENT CLUB has everything from T-shirts to info about the many events HPIC presents: On the other side of us, just south of the Cultural Stage, are the community volunteers who coordinate Delridge Day. Over at the Police Picnic, a fingerprinting demonstration:

More dancing!

12:44 PM: Over on the Music Stage, some rock ‘n’ roll! 1:15 PM: Hungry? OFF THE REZ food truck is here, parked by the Delridge CC entrance: Today’s menu includes frybread, tacos, and burgers. The view of the festival grounds from the center of the park: JAZZ NIGHT SCHOOL students are on the Cultural Stage right now: MODE MUSIC STUDIOS (WSB sponsor) on the stage by the center building. Something else that happened: The SPD’s Community Awards were announced. Separate story on that later! And as part of the SUSTAINABLE WEST SEATTLE GREENLIFE EXPO, “DIVER LAURA” JAMES is giving festivalgoers a chance to view the Virtual Salish Sea: 2:10 PM: Final hour of Delridge Day – hurry up and get here if you haven’t been already! The skateboarding competition has begun over at the skatepark (delayed a few hours so the morning rainfall’s residue could evaporate). Lessons too, with Skate Like a Girl: The festival is also a great opportunity to ask questions, get info, even register to vote. Thanks to all the kind folks who have stopped by our booth to say hi. And props to the organizers – here’s four

of them:

Not pictured, RON ANGELES, who was here when we stopped by two hours before the start to be sure it wasn’t going to be rained out. (Added: Also, ANN MARTIN!) Organizing a festival takes months of work leading up to the big day and they’re all volunteers. 3:01 PM: The festival’s officially over but because of the rain-delayed start, skateboarding’s still on. Meantime, a bit more

WEST SEATTLE ART: THE STORY BEHIND A NEW MURAL ON ALKI POINT AUGUST 9, 2019 8:01 PM |    __  7 COMMENTS | __  WEST SEATTLE NEWS

| WS

CULTURE/ARTS

That new mural on Alki Point is on private property, but publicly visible, and today we got to meet the artist. We found out about ELISE WAELDER‘s project from her uncle, DANNY MCMILLIN (who has shared some wonderful bird photos with WSB over the years). She’s painting it on the west-facing side of his garage in memory of her mom, Danny’s sister MITZI MCMILLIN, who had been planning to move from San Diego to Seattle before cancer took her life. While you can see most of the mural if you’re biking, walking, skating, driving eastbound on Alki Avenue in the 3100 block, you won’t see the part above, which wraps around the garage’s southwest corner into a small private courtyard. Elise is an accomplished artist but this is the biggest mural she’s done, and she’s been visiting from California the past week-plus to paint it: She’s on deadline to finish the mural – Saturday she heads back to San Diego, and not long after that, she’s moving cross-country to Long Island to pursue an art career full-time. You can see more of her

work on INSTAGRAM .

P.S. Her mom had deep West Seattle roots, as does Danny, who tells us Mitzi was a 1974 WEST SEATTLE HIGH SCHOOL graduate “who almost singlehandedly led the WSHS girls’ Track and Field team to a state championship” that year, and later won a national pentathlon championship while studying at the University of Southern California.

Just in case you were wondering, we checked. King County Transportation spokesperson TRAVIS SHOFNER reassures us that everything’s on track for West Seattle and Vashon WATER TAXI service to resume Monday morning, using the new terminal at Pier 50 downtown. Since the smaller SPIRIT OF KINGSTON was on the West Seattle run before the service suspension, we also sought confirmation that the regular vessel DOC MAYNARD will be back.

ELECTION RESULTS, DAY 4: HERBOLD PASSES 50% IN SEATTLE COUNCIL

DISTRICT 1

AUGUST 9, 2019 3:54 PM |    __  24 COMMENTS | __  WEST SEATTLE NEWS The last ballot count of the week is out

,

and it includes a milestone for SEATTLE CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT 1 incumbent LISA HERBOLD: She now has passed 50 percent of the vote, gaining almost three full points from the Tuesday night count

:

Lisa Herbold – 13,243 – 50.61% Phil Tavel – 8,439 – 32.25% Brendan Kolding – 4,379 – 16.73% Turnout in District 1 is now up to 39.94% (10 percent higher than the 2015 primary), with 27,199 ballots counted (out of 68,101 registered voters). With 27,893 ballots received, fewer than 700 remain to be counted (plus whatever trickles in via postal mail). Herbold is the only one of the three City Council incumbents running for re-election who has hit that milestone; District 3’s KSHAMA SAWANT now has 36.65% of the vote in a 6-candidate race; District 5’s DEBORA JUAREZ, who also has 5 challengers, leads that race with

44.98%.

BIZNOTE: WEST SEATTLE WHOLE FOODS UPDATE AUGUST 9, 2019 3:16 PM |    __  16 COMMENTS | __  WEST SEATTLE NEWS

_(WSB

photo)_

13 years in the making – albeit on and off and on and off and on – but now WHOLE FOODS MARKET may be just two months away from finally opening in West Seattle. Our most recent request for an official update has gone unanswered so far, but we note that the company’s job listing posted in the WSB WEST SEATTLE JOBS

OFFERED section

declares that the store in THE WHITTAKER at 4755 Fauntleroy Way SW is “opening in October.” That’s an update from the “fall” timeline announced via window wrapping last year

.

We took a walk around the periphery today; an open door gave a peek into the ongoing buildout activity, but nothing revelatory. More telling – the online permit files, where a recent revision included the toplines “Deleted express checkouts, deleted tap room bar and keg cooler, added self-checkouts …” along with some equipment moves for the bakery and coffee/juice bar. Other features shown in sketches include salad, soup, hot-food, and pizza bars. The store’s liquor-license application was filed three weeks ago, according to the state LIQUOR AND CANNABIS BOARD notice.

SLOW BUSES: COUNTY EXECUTIVE OFFERS NEW HOPE FOR ALTERNATE METRO

_(C

coach seen by Will on 4th Tuesday. Metro told us at the time it wasn’t route-testing, but …)_ During the pm commute hours today, Metro routed West Seattle-bound buses off 1st Avenue to avert a pre-Seahawks traffic jam, even though the transit system started the week by saying alternate routing wasn’t really a option to relieve the chronic crunch. And suddenly there’s hope it might be an option after all. That came in the form of this statement from King County Executive Dow Constantine, billed : > Since before the Viaduct closure and demolition earlier this year, > our community planned together for the ‘Seattle Squeeze’ – > several years of construction that makes getting around downtown and > the region challenging. We survived ‘Via-doom’ thanks to > extraordinary efforts by transportation agencies and the public, who > adjusted their schedules and routes.

ART WALK

| WEST SEATTLE NEWS

6:43 PM: The first “ART OF MUSIC” performance is happening on the southwest Walk All Ways corner at California/Alaska, as the August WEST SEATTLE ART WALK continues. The duo is HOW SHORT (Josh Hou and Andy Short). They’re scheduled to play until 7:30 pm, the first of a series of Art Walk-night performances presented by the WEST SEATTLE JUNCTION ASSOCIATION . And of course, you’ll find art at multiple venues in The Junction and beyond: That’s AMBER LEADERS, featured artist at CLICK! DESIGN THAT FITS (4540 California SW; WSB sponsor); the photo’s from Click! co-proprietor JOHN SMERSH. She’s there until 8; read more about her prints, cards, and pins on the Click!

website

.

The full Art Walk map/venue list is in our preview

.

ADDED 9:18 PM: If you’ve seen the posters/cards for this quarter’s Art Walks, you’ve seen WHITNEY LARENE ‘s

work:

Her work is featured this month at FLYING APRON in The Junction (4709 California SW) – remember that most artists’ work can be seen (often with purchase information if you’re interested) all month long, not just on Art Walk Night. We also stopped at VISCON CELLARS (5910 California SW; WSB sponsor), showing work by NIKKI HOBENSACK : Next West Seattle Art Walk: September 12th!
