Admiral Pub seeking help after break in

Admiral Pub in West Seattle is asking for help after someone broke into their business Friday at 5AM. The community has rallied on GoFundMe to help cover half the damage. The fundraiser can be found here: Help! We had a break in and 6k in damages

"They stole alcohol, cash and broke both the front doors and backdoor," Admiral Pub Owner Billy Conwell wrote on GoFundMe. "Luckily we were still able to be open and will continue to be open. As bar owners, we do our best to plan for these days, but they always come when you least expect them."

Admiral Pub will be using their Wednesday trivia night and Thursday music bingo night as fundraisers to help replace the doors the burglar busted.

Marc's View: The Diamonds of Being Alone

By Marc Lainhart

Being alone is often misunderstood and stigmatized in our society. Many people associate being alone with loneliness and isolation, but it is essential to recognize that being alone can be a valuable and enriching experience. This article will explore the art of being alone, its benefits, and how to cultivate a healthy relationship with solitude.

1. Embracing Solitude:

Being alone allows us to reconnect with ourselves and explore our thoughts and emotions. It will enable us to step away from the distractions and noise of the world and focus on our own needs and desires. Embracing solitude can lead to self-discovery, personal growth, and a deeper understanding of ourselves.

UPDATE: Fire aboard water taxi knocks out service
Spirit of Kingston will provide service

UPDATE 11:15 am

The Spirit of Kingston will take over for the Sally Fox on the Seacrest to downtown route for the Water taxi, starting with the 11:30 am run. No word yet as to when the Sally Fox will return to service.

Original Post 8:51am

A fire in the engine room of the 78 foot Sally Fox King County water taxi Friday morning. The craft was at the Seacrest Park pier at the time. The park and pier are located at 1660 Harbor Ave SW in West Seattle.

The fire system aboard activated and the doors to the engine room closed. Typically marine vessels employ a freon fire supression system that acts on the heat factor of a fire by cooling it rapidly. Marine fire systems are designed to extinguish a fire in less than 10 seconds after discharge.

The water taxi is currently out of service. They expect to have the Spirit of Kingston provide service by midday.
