Car Prowl Increase and Prevention Strategies
date posted: 27 Oct 2020 by: Jennifer DannerPassed to us from the Southwest Precinct
The SW Precinct has recently seen an increase in car prowl incidents in our William 2 (W2) patrol beat area, specifically on and around Beach Drive SW. These incidents are mostly occurring in the night time hours.
Here is the link to our Patrol Beat/Sector map- https://www.seattle.gov/Documents/Departments/police/Precincts/maps/Southwest_Precinct.pdf
In order to address this increase, we would like to remind our community about the following car prowl prevention strategies:
• Check vehicle regularly (especially important during COVID times)
• Never leave valuables in plain view
• Hide chargers and accessories that indicate an electronic device may be in the vehicle
• Remove garage door openers, key cards and other keys from the vehicle
• If possible, park vehicle in a busy, locked, monitored and/or well-lit area
• Install anti-theft devices
• If possible, activate alarm

FCA Pumpkin Hunt
date posted: 24 Oct 2020#FCApumpkins – The Hunt is on!
In an effort to bring some fun to the dwindling daylight, throughout the week of October 26-30, The Fauntleroy Community Association is sponsoring a community pumpkin hunt. If you search around the Endolyne/Fauntleroy area, you may find a white pumpkin – or even a beautiful blown glass pumpkin – with a note attached. Some even include a gift certificate for use at our local merchants, compliments of the FCA board members.
We hope you’ll participate. We encourage you to take your pumpkin home with you, then take a picture of yourself with your pumpkin, and post it to your Facebook page, with #FCApumpkins
Enjoy!

date posted: 13 Jul 2020There are two surveys taking place right now, each is open until July 31st. It is important that the city hear your voice. Tell them what you need.
Reconnect West Seattle Survey:
This survey is for everyone who lives or works in West Seattle. The survey is the community’s chance to let SDOT and our partners know what you need to move on and off the West Seattle peninsula at similar rates to before the High-Rise Bridge closure, but with a significant reduction in travel lanes.
Neighborhood Prioritications Process Ballots: for Southwest Seattle, Georgetown, SODO and South Park.
The ballots include lists of potential projects that were generated from ideas we have received from community, along with some of our own ideas, and projects from existing transportation and neighborhood plans. While a much larger mix of projects remain on our radar, we recognize the need for immediate action. Therefore, the lists include projects that can be completed quickly and cost less than $100,000.

I also wanted to let you all know about a fun addition to this year’s online auction – our lovely caterer’s Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes has offered to compliment this year’s online auction with a special take-home (or delivery if in West Seattle) meal on June 12 so we can still feel like we are celebrating together from our homes. There is also a second option to get a meal on June 17th! $10 from every meal purchased on June 12th or 17th will go towards the FCC auction!
Please see the attached flier for more information on the meal options available and the link to sign-up (For the June 12th option orders need to be placed by June 10th). We don’t have the menu yet for June 17th but will forward it to you all soon.
