UPDATE: Gas spill at WS Golf course last week will result in security updates
However no cameras, lights, or motion detectors; Drain to Longfellow Creek not addressed

Update 1-25-20

Seattle Parks said they are working on a solution to better secure the fueling station at the West Seattle Golf Course following a spill caused by a theft of the gas at the facility. Spokes person Rachel Schulkiin said, "hopefully be in place really soon." She said that cameras, lights and motion detectors in parks is in conflict with the City privacy laws in public spaces saying they are "not appropriate" outside. The storm drain some 60 feet down the slope from the fueling station that drains into Longfellow Creek was not addressed. Schulkin suggested that this is more likely a Seattle Public Utilities matter.

The City of Kirkland has published a Fueling Station Best Management Practices document that points out:

Just say no to the dress

By Jean Godden

Forgive me but I'm about to go old-lady and say that I am embarrassed over some of the women entertainers appearing at awards shows like the Golden Globes. A number of them opted to wear outrageous and over-revealing outfits, outlandish creations that, nevertheless, are priced up there with a week on the Riviera.

Oh, yes, I know these are professionals who make their living in show business. They are stars who have to keep being talked about, even if the talk isn't more than a "shame on you." But the sight of so much over-exposed flesh is still jarring.

While watching the Golden Globes one could see more female skin exposed than commonly viewed in a locker room. If it wasn't legs bared, some approaching the hip, it was the sight of female bosoms entwined in rhinestones, restrained in glittery armor and revealed in views fit for a centerfold. One see-through outfit showed the actress was at least wearing underpants.
