This weekend our Alki Beach community came out to join hands in solidarity with 31 other countries -- from Australia to China -- to protest offshore drilling and to show support for our Gulf Coast neighbors. Here's my new Huffington Post blog about the event:

Oil
Spill Activism: A Hole in the Bottom of the Sea
Over 168 people formed a human chain at low tide on our beach. It was a wonderful way to get involved, strengthen our neighborhood, and talk about ways we can help -- from joining People for Puget Sound, to cleaning up the nearby Duwamish River, to beach patrol, and political activism.

Right before the "Hands Across the Sand" event, our own Robin Lindsay of Seal Sitters led a two-hour beach training for new volunteers, 28 of whom showed up to prepare for the imminent spring-September seal pup season. For more: http://www.sealsitters.org
