West Seattle scene: Over Alki Point Lighthouse


Remember the warm sunshine back on Saturday? And the movie shoot with Alki standing in for a Florida backdrop? Here’s one more Alki scene from Saturday – West Seattle aerial photographer/pilot Long Bach Nguyen just sent this Alki Point Lighthouse aerial, inviting us to share it with you, and given the fact the weather’s done a 180 since then, it’s a welcome sight. (Click the photo, or this link, to see a larger version.)

    I notice that the “teardown” that was for sale next to the lighthouse is being worked on. Are they having to tear it down by hand because they can’t get a crane in there or is it being taken down to the studs so they can do one of those “add a second floor” remodels?

      Here’s the DPD line for the property next door, as included in our December story about the parcel being sold:

      Some tree controversy at the site, as you’ll see on that. More notably, it appears the new owner/s noticed it’s zoned for multifamily and are determining its “buildable potential.” – TR

    Cool pic – does anyone know what’s happening with the house next door that was sold not too long ago? Looks like the roof is off, or maybe new construction out the front? What a beautiful spot; I’m jealous!

    aack, one of those should-have-refreshed moments; yeah, what ValVashon said ;)

    Looks like Bob Code’s project has sailed through the review process to rebuild as a single family residence as of three days ago.
