Great Pumpkin Search Looking for Volunteers

date posted: 21 Aug 2023

Fall is coming sooner than we think. With it comes all sorts of activities and fun things to do. The Fauntleroy Community Association is sponsoring the annual “Great Pumpkin Search” on Saturday, October 21, 2023 from 1:00 to 3:00 pm. The Association will have a booth set up in the triangle across from Endolyne Joe’s. The actual search will take place on the streets that spoke out from the triangle. There will be little pumpkins, easy to find for the little ones, and larger pumpkins for the grown-ups who come. As a bonus, there will be special pumpkins and holiday gifts to find in various locations. This is a first come, first serve event so don’t wait too long. It will be a fun way to spend the afternoon.

Also, we need volunteers to come and help hide the pumpkins earlier at 11:30. Several older children thought that would be a fun thing to do. Contact Candace Blue at 209-401-8406, blueyvette47@gmail.com.

Fauntleroy Creek Culverts Replacement Project | Update on 45th Ave SW Culvert

date posted: 12 Apr 2023

This,from SPU:

Fauntleroy Creek Culverts Replacement Project | Update on 45th Ave SW Culvert

Dear Neighbors,

Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) would like to provide an update regarding theactivities near the 45th Ave SW culvert on Fauntleroy Creek. You may have noticed increased activity in this area, including the development of ponded waterin the ravine upstream of the culvert. SPU is closely monitoring this culvert and is prepared to manage the water if it ponds too deep.  

Three weeks ago, when water started to pond upstream, SPU investigated anddetermined that the culvert was mostly blocked with debris. During this time, SPUhas been assessing repair options and actively monitoring and evaluating the culvert and upstream conditions. As soon as Wednesday, April 12, SPU will use a pump and bypass system to attempt to lower the water level upstream of the culvert to better assess conditions in the culvert. During this temporary work, you can expect periodic noise from the pumping equipment and slower traffic in the work area. This work would occur during daytime hours.  

SPU will continue to perform work at the culvert to eliminate the blockage and may change strategies depending on the culvert and weather conditions. SPU will continue to keep the community updated on the progress of this evaluation and condition of the culvert as the situation develops. For questions about this work, please contact Josh Meidav at josh.meidav@seattle.gov or (206) 437-7528.

For More Information:

As part of the Fauntleroy Creek Culverts Replacement Project, we previously shared that this culvert is nearing the end of its life and needs to be replaced. SPU is in the process of developing a design for this culvert (you can view early design concepts on our project website). Since Fauntleroy Creek is a salmon-bearing creek, there are requirements from State and Federal agencies that must be met and reviewed during the culvert’s design process. As a result, the design will not be completed for several years, with construction anticipated to start in summer 2026. For more information on this future work, please visit the project website.  

Stay Updated!
