James F. Engelhardt, formerly of Burien, WA, passed away gently April 7, 2021, at age 71. His longtime companion, Marion, and brother, Bill, were bedside with Jim at West Hills Hospital in California when his nearly five-year battle with ALS came to a peaceful end.
At 4:24am on Thursday February 9, a female casino employee drove home from work and parked in the 6400 block of 29 Ave SW.
The victim exited her vehicle and walked toward her home when a suspect approached the victim and poked her with a black pistol.
The suspect demanded jewelry, and stole the victim’s purse which contained cash, a cell phone, and other items.
The suspect left on foot and possibly entered a vehicle. The victim wasn’t able to track her phone. K9 and Guardian 1 were requested, but not available.
Officers checked the area for suspect/suspects and for evidence. The SPD Robbery Unit was notified about the incident.
Salty's on Alki, the largest restaurant in West Seattle, was impacted by the pandemic like all business but they managed to find innovative ways to stay functioning and use the time to make positive changes. But two of the casualties from that time were both lunch, shut down for one year, and their deservedly famous buffet style brunch. Now lunch is back.
General Manager Chris Darst said that their expansive brunch too will return in the near future with some changes but those are still being determined. They have been serving plated style breakfast on weekends with everything from cinnamon rolls to steak and eggs from 10am to 2pm for the last few months.

Most people spend much of their lives in a quest to relieve uncertainty.
If you were fortunate enough to have parents who provided for you growing up, then much of that didn’t impact you until you were an adult.
But the certainty of a paycheck, a place to sleep, your next meal, someone who loves you, all the basics, drive people. It conditions most people, if not all, to apply that lens to the rest of life. It creates the belief that you can in fact be certain about a supreme being, certain about a leader, certain about a belief, certain about a behavior. But clearly that’s all very likely wrong. And that’s ok.
Here’s why. Uncertainty means you don’t take anything as utterly true. Yes, that means being uncomfortable and it means you might have to think harder, or do more research to arrive at a more likely useful truth.
