A pickup truck driven by a female was heading west on SW 21st when a Volkswagen behind her attempted to pass, and according to the female driver, it side swiped her truck, pushing it on to a rock wall.
The VW spun out and came to a stop, and that driver, a male fled the scene.
Police are attempting to locate that driver and the incident is still under investigation.
When A Terrible Beauty Irish Pub closed in West Seattle in June it was unclear what would happen in the building at 4752 California Ave. SW. The former owners faced personal and financial issues that forced the closure of all of their restaurants. Now that question has been answered.
The Westside Public House will open, on Monday Nov. 10, looking somewhat similar to what it did but with some key differences. The new owners are a little familiar too.
Mick Shannon Garvey son of the former owner of A Terrible Beauty and Jason Stacy, who brings 27 years of restaurant experience (with 13 as a bartender) to the new venture, are the owners. The space will retain much of the look it's had since it was last remodeled since after all Mick did the majority of the design and construction. But it's being re-imagined as a sports bar open to 21 and over only.

An organized group of nearly 50 tennis buffs, many over age 90, meet regularly in the warmer months at the Solstice Park Tennis Courts, 7400 Fauntleroy Way SW, one mile north of the Fauntleroy Ferry Dock in West Seattle. The casual group does not meet all at once and has no name, but does have a group of email addresses to keep each other updated.
Today, Nov. 7, was a bit chilly for playing, but nearly 20 showed up to honor Leon Harman, who help found the courts 50 years ago. A bench was made in his honor that will remain against the fence inside the courts.
Tom Leahy, a longtime West Seattle resident, was asked to build the bench. At the gathering, Leahy and others passed around a folder of original letters mailed to and from the Park District to petition for the tennis courts. Also in that folder is a West Seattle Herald article dated Feb. 27, 1964 with the headline, "TENNIS COURTS PLANNED" referring to those in Solstice Park.

The King County Housing Authority has been awarded rental subsidies from HUD that will enable it to support 33 formerly homeless veterans at the Multi-Service Center Federal Way Veterans Project that will break ground next month. The vouchers, part of a recent award of 92 vouchers received by KCHA through the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) program, will provide ongoing rental subsidies at the first supportive housing complex dedicated to homeless veterans south of Renton.
More than 500 Oregon spotted frogs reared at Woodland Park Zoo were released last week into marshy wetlands at a protected site in Pierce County.
The frogs were collected from wetlands as eggs and placed at the zoo for hatching and rearing for several months in a predator-free home as they transformed from tadpole to juvenile status, increasing their survival by giving them a head start until they were large enough to avoid predators.
Head starting and releasing the frogs is part of a cooperative program with Woodland Park Zoo, Northwest Trek Wildlife Park, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Sustainability in Prisons Project, and other zoos and state and federal agencies.
Washington declared the Oregon spotted frog an endangered species in 1997, and on August 28, 2014, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service listed the frog as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. It historically ranged from southwestern British Columbia to northeastern California. However, scientists have seen populations plummet, driving the frog toward extinction.
