    Lot of strange and concerning occurrences happening in West Seattle recently. Does anyone have any details on the loud explosion heard Thanksgiving night around 11pm, near the 7900 block of 34th Ave SW?

      Fireworks (aka some idiot with an M-80 type of thing). I heard it, as did police to whom dispatchers reported someone calling about it.

Sorry, comment time is over.
