Westside Neighbors Shelter in The Triangle remains the only shelter in West Seattle. It runs on donations and volunteers, and here’s a list of what they need now:
Westside Neighbors Shelter opens every morning of the year to provide people with a hot breakfast, a place to shower, and other necessities. Even in the summer, we’ve been serving between 30 and 50 hungry people each day. Keith reports that we are out of almost everything, and consequently spending more money every week to keep going. Can you help? Here are the most-needed items right now:
Regular and instant oatmeal
Instant hot chocolate mix
Powdered coffee creamer
Ground coffee
Krusteaz pancake mix
Bisquick
Cup-o-Noodles and Ramen
Potatoes
White and brown sugar
12 oz paper hot cups (no lids)
16 oz paper bowls
10” paper plates
Paper towels and napkins
Men’s socks, underwear, t-shirts
Disposable razors, travel-size shaving cream and toothpasteYou’ll find these items (and more) at our wish list:
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2M8BX6UMZBG4H?Or, toss a few of these items in your cart next time you go shopping, and bring them by the shelter between 7 and 11 am any day of the week!

Thank you so much!
Lots of hot topics for Washington State Ferries lately, including the restoration of three-boat service on the Fauntleroy-Vashon-Southworth route. Got a question? Concern? Comment? That and many other topics are up for discussion at WSF’s fall system-wide community meetings, happening online at 12:30 pm and 6 pm Thursday, October 2. WSF boss Steve Nevey says, “Each meeting will begin with a brief presentation about this summer’s increased service, our new vessel build program and recent changes here at WSF. Most of the time will be dedicated to answering questions.” You can register for one or both (WSF promises duplicate content) right now by going here.
It’s been a month and a half since our last update on the case of 36-year-old Aren Oleson, arrested and charged after a July 31 barrage of gunfire inside his South Admiral apartment. The city subsequently sought and obtained an Extreme Risk Protection Order to keep the guns seized from him afterward from being returned to him any time soon. Oleson has remained in jail since then, charged with 10 misdemeanors, including unlawful gun discharge, drug possession, and six counts of reckless endangerment, for allegedly shooting without consideration for the neighbors inside their apartments when this happened. We got an automated notification today that he had been released from the King County Jail and looked into why. Court documents explain that he was released to inpatient substance-abuse treatment when a space became available at a facility on the Olympic Peninsula. He is still facing trial on the charges filed against him, with a tentative hearing date planned in October.
As noted, the City Council is voting today on dozens of amendments proposed as part of the every-decade process of updating the city’s long-term-growth plan, aka the Comprehensive Plan. Four of those amendments directly address specific West Seattle neighborhoods. Here’s how the votes went:
AMENDMENT 34: As its sponsor, citywide Councilmember Alexis Mercedes Rinck, described it, this was the “spicy” amendment, generating a lot of discussion, because it would add eight areas as Neighborhood Centers, enabling denser housing among other things. One of those would be in Alki; the other seven were elsewhere in the city. The amendment was defeated, with everyone voting no except for Rinck. But she said it may be brought back again in the future, after additional study following the current process. For now, though, the Comprehensive Plan Update will NOT include an Alki Neighborhood Center. (We had details of the now-failed proposal in this September 2 report.)
AMENDMENT 35: This was one of three amendments from District 1 Councilmember Rob Saka, changing the Endolyne Neighborhood Center’s name to Fauntleroy, and reducing its size a bit. It passed.
AMENDMENT 36: This was Councilmember Saka’s second of three amendments, adding some area to the High Point Neighborhood Center including the HP Library’s site. It passed.
AMENDMENT 37: This was Saka’s third Neighborhood Center amendment, reducing the size of the Morgan Junction Urban Center. It passed.
Another Saka amendment requiring more pedestrian improvements in new Neighborhood Centers, Amendment 53, passed. And one other transportation amendment of note, Councilmember Rinck’s Amendment 7 to “end parking mandates” – did not pass; Council President Sara Nelson said it was worth more discussion than just an amendment to a larger plan would get.
The council is currently in recess, after finishing work on the first overall bill to which all these amendments and others were made, and will reconvene at 12:30, with a lunch break set at 1 pm and resumption of work at 2 pm.
Looking for ork? Elle Loeppky with Friends of West Seattle Elementary tells WSB that their school is one of several on the peninsula with an urgent need for crossing guards:
West Seattle Elementary is in need of two crossing guards this year, and several other neighborhood schools also have vacant posts (see map and screenshot below — red darts mark openings). (Help spread the word) so these important roles can be filled and all students can walk or bike to school safely.
The job is part-time — just during school arrival and dismissal — and could be a great fit for a retiree, a college student, or a stay-at-home parent with older kids.
Crossing Guard Recruitment:
Pay: $20.76/hour
Requirements: Age 18+, high school diploma/GED (or equivalent experience), background check. Training provided by the district.
Schedule: Part-time, during school arrival and dismissal
Role: Safely assist students crossing streets and intersections in all kinds of weatherSee our map of open crossing guard posts to find opportunities in your neighborhood. See our map of open crossing guard posts to find opportunities in your neighborhood.

UPDATE: The missing man has been found and the alert has been canceled.

Local educational nonprofit Invest in Youth tells us that some of their best tutors come through WSB, so they’re again asking us to help with recruitment. If you can help, here’s how!
Are you interested in giving back to our community, narrowing achievement gaps for neighborhood students and promoting educational equity right here in West Seattle? Invest in Youth offers a unique opportunity to connect one-on-one with a local student for the entire school year beginning in October.
Tutors meet one day a week with the same student in the classroom with other student-tutor pairs, and work on math and reading fundamentals, all while serving as a mentor to foster lifelong academic success.
No experience is necessary; just a commitment to show up for one hour, one day a week. Tutoring starts in early October and launches with a training session to familiarize tutors on how to make the most of each tutoring session.
Roxhill Elementary at E.C. Hughes, Tuesdays 2:40 – 3:40 pm
Sanislo Elementary, Mondays 2:40 – 3:40 pmIn addition to these West Seattle Schools, Invest in Youth also serves Beacon Hill International School (Tuesdays from 3:40 – 4:40 pm) and Thurgood Marshall Elementary in the Judkins Park neighborhood (Thursdays from 2:40 – 3:40 pm).

Seattle City Light says it’s working on plans to tamper-proof the West Seattle bridges’ electrical system, after the latest round of dark lights on both the high and low bridges, blamed on theft and tampering. City Light provided an update late today on the latest trouble. And spokesperson Jenn Strang says it’s not just lights:
We estimate approximately 71 streetlights of the more than 200 lights on the high-rise sections of the [high bridge] and approximately 15 streetlights on the [low] bridge east approach are affected. When crews investigated, they found that there were additional components including a streetlight cabinet and handholes that required repair.
Strang says crews first noticed the low-bridge lights out in early August. After research and mapping, they’re trying to restore the lighting, she added, but: “Because the damage is so extensive, we are discovering additional issues as we work to assess and fix. Further work is needed to make additional repairs and ensure the future tamper proofing of the system. This will likely include civil work and permitting to move forward.”
Some of the tamperproofing is fairly simple: “Temporary ecology block(s) are proposed to be placed in front of the electrical cabinet on the north side of S Spokane St to prevent entry and unauthorized tampering.” After that, it gets more complicated, both in terms of more complicated work, and figuring out how to deal with locations where criminals have plenty of privacy: “We have been actively securing our facilities wherever possible. However, certain areas continue to experience higher levels of streetlight wire theft and vandalism, particularly locations with lower public traffic where perpetrators have greater seclusion. As we discover these vulnerabilities, we’re adapting and developing preventative solutions.”
The utility also is trying to step up its game in getting a sense of how serious the wire theft problem is; Strang says SCL has “recently established an internal process to help us to better track when wire theft is the cause.”
Meantime, if you see suspicious activity near poles or other electrical installations, call 911. Strang suggests four ways to know if they are City Light employees:
-City Light employees will always be wearing hardhats and vests or jackets with the City Light logo.
-If asked, they will show their ID badges.
-They drive City Light vehicles, often the large yellow trucks.
-Line crews always work in teams. One exception is that an engineer may inspect a site alone, but only during regular business hours.
City Light has been dealing with bridge-light trouble for more than a decade, our archives indicate, including under-the-bridge light trouble blamed on thieves (here’s our 2020 report on that).
8:37 PM: Police and Fire are on the scene of a crash at 39th SW/SW Barton in Upper Fauntleroy [map] and have just told dispatch that Barton is completely blocked. The initial report was that a driver crashed into parked cars.
(Added: Reader photo)
8:39 PM: The driver was initially described as a man around 60 years old, and they’re now saying this was a “medically related collision.”
8:43 PM: Police say eastbound traffic on Barton has resumed but “westbound’s going to be blocked for a while.”
Quick recap of what happened when City Councilmembers met today to start voting on updates to the city’s Comprehensive Plan, particularly rezoning: They passed both “consent packages” of amendments, but they didn’t include any of the most-discussed amendments, such as the one rezoning part of Alki and other non-West Seattle areas as Neighborhood Centers with denser housing and businesses, and the ones changing the boundaries proposed for potential Neighborhood Centers including Endolyne/Fauntleroy and High Point, as well as the boundaries for the Morgan Junction Urban Center. Those are all likely to be discussed and voted on during the council’s meeting – again as the Select Committee on the Comprehensive Plan – starting at 9:30 am tomorrow, with an afternoon session scheduled at 2 pm. As promised, today’s meeting included an hour of spoken comment, much of which advocated for tree-related amendments, but tomorrow’s meeting does not include spoken comment, so if you have any final words for councilmembers before they vote, email them. Documents for tomorrow’s meeting are all linked from the agenda.
Again tonight, the setting sun was framed by a layer of wildfire smoke over the Olympics – this time, a band of smoke, rather than the billowing clouds we saw last night. The photo above is from Michael Burke; the one below, from Carol Ann Joyce:
Good news for the smoke and fire – rain is expected this weekend. (The sun is due back in time for a potential appearance at Alice Enevoldsen’s fall-equinox sunset watch Monday night.)
Got your ticket to the West Seattle Food Bank-benefiting Taste of West Seattle? It’s eight days away – and WSFB has announced it’ll extend advance ticket sales until the night before:
The West Seattle Food Bank has extended pre-sales for Taste of West Seattle tickets through Wednesday, September 24, at 11:59 p.m. Purchasing pre-sale tickets guarantees entry and helps WSFB plan for capacity — and every ticket sold directly funds critical programs.
Proceeds support WSFB’s work beyond groceries, including clothing, rental assistance, and other essential services that help families and seniors remain stable with dignity.
“Extending pre-sales gives more neighbors a chance to join the celebration — and every ticket makes a real impact in sustaining our programs at a time when seniors and families truly need us,” said Robbin Peterson, Development Director at the West Seattle Food Bank.
Go here to see the list of local food/beverage businesses providing tastes and sips for the event, which is at The Hall at Fauntleroy, with VIP early entry at 5:30 pm, general-admission entry at 6 pm. Get your ticket(s) here!
West Seattle has had weekend King County Water Taxi service for years – and now Vashon Island is getting it too. When the fall/winter service schedule starts on October 11, the Vashon Island to Downtown Seattle run will get eight round trips on Saturdays. The schedule also will include an added Friday night sailing, from downtown to Vashon at 7:30 pm Fridays. As noted in the full announcement, this is a one-year pilot program, with the $1 million cost allocated by the state Legislature.
A robotics organization that includes youth from West Seattle and points south wants to remind you about its open house tomorrow night!
The Skunk Works Robotics open house is Thursday, September 18th, 6:15 pm, at Highline College. The Skunks are a robotics team for high school students and compete in the FRC division of FIRST Robotics.

We’ve been watching for the “mid-September” start of the road closure for resumption of a drainage project along Sylvan Way just west of Delridge Way [map], and just found crews setting out cones, barricades, and signs a short time ago. Seattle Public Utilities announced three weeks ago that the project would resume after three years on hold. Here’s the official construction notice for the work, expected to continue through the end of the year.

11:06 AM: We’re back at the Joint Training Facility, where day 2 of helicopter rescue training with a Washington National Guard Black Hawk is under way.
So far they’re practicing hoists and lowering over the landing area and will then move to a 5-story building on the west side of the JTF. (Added: Watch below as participants attach themselves to the hoist in a little over :30, then get lifted – you’ll also hear what the propeller-generated wind was like:)
11:55 AM: The helicopter just left for refueling at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, but is expected back. (That’s when the media photo ops ended, so we don’t have visuals of the drill involving the building.)

Good luck whale-watching!

Friday night, it’ll be a football game, but today, it was the sport the rest of the world calls football that brought Chief Sealth International HS and West Seattle HS to the field at Nino Cantu Southwest Athletic Complex. We were able to drop in during the girls-varsity match’s early going for a few photos.
WSHS got its first win of the year, 3-0.
The Wildcats’ record is now 1-0-1; the Seahawks, 1-2-1.
You can see their next scheduled matches on the Metro League webdite. (Next Sealth /WSHS game on the field this week is Friday night at 7, when the two schools’ football teams play the annual Huling Bowl game.)
