As you may recall, Jason broke his pelvis in a head-on collision in California in late December:

Important announcement, sort’a:

Jason Sanders, Seahurst’s fav-o-rite barrista, who was seriously injured in an accident back in December has returned to work.

Tanned, rested, ready.

He is, not surprisingly, very happy to be back in action, and is lookin’ good.

Reduced hours this week; 9 AM – Noon, then back to a fuller schedule as early as next week if he feels up to it.

Caffeine ergo sum.

So be sure to drop by The Bean, located across from the Seahurst Post Office, near Bistro Baffi, and welcome Jason back! And while you’re in the ‘hood, be sure to say hello to Philip Kelley, who’s located across the street, next to the post office in Advanced Massage.

Here’s a link to our previous coverage of Jason’s accident and recovery.

Robin Dunkle of BTB Advertiser Howard and Marge Clothing (who recently spearheaded a meal drive) just sent us the following update on Jason Sanders of “The Bean” espresso, who broke his pelvis in a head-on collision in California in late December:

Our “MAN” Jason Sander’s from The Bean Espresso is doing great!

He is recovering nicely.

His Dr. gave the a-okay to use his walker and he is not required to use his wheelchair unless he needs to.

His pelvis had several fractures and now he is told by the Dr. he is about 90% healed on right side and 25% on left.

You can’t keep Jason down – he is in great spirits and very appreciative to all who have contributed to his aid in recovery.

Robin also reminds us that Howard and Marge is having a special Valentine’s Bash Party & Trunk Show this Thursday night (Feb. 12th) from 5pm-9pm, featuring:

As we reported last week, Robin Dunkle of BTB Advertiser Howard and Marge is spearheading a “meal drive” for espresso stand “The Bean’s” Jason Sanders, who suffered a broken pelvis in a head-on collision Dec. 26th:

Hi Friends,

Please give me a call tomorrow at the shop (206) 453-5454 if you are interested in providing a dinner or some type of meal for Jason and his father.

We have a list going and he has requested the meals get dropped at Howard and Marge .

We thank you for all the support Jason is receiving.

- Robin Dunkle

He would even appreciate treats like cookies or brownies or something.

On Dec. 31st, we reported that Burien resident and businessman Jason Sanders (of Seahurst espresso stand “The Bean”) had been “moderately” injured in a head-on collision in California, suffering from a broken pelvis.

Jason may be coming home very soon, and Wednesday we received word from Robin Dunkle of BTB Advertiser Howard and Marge about a unique way to help him – she’s spearheading a “meal list” where volunteers can sign-up to make meals for him as he continues his recuperation with his father at home.

According to Robin:

So, word has it, Jason comes home this week.

We are getting our heads together and doing a weekly meal list.

Jason’s father will be here taking care of him so we are putting together a sign-up sheet to provide daily meals for Jason and his father over the next months.

If this sounds of interest to you and you would like to help out, please email Robin Dunkle @ howardandmarge@comcast.net.

I can email you the sign up list.

Jason will soooo appreciate this!  Thanks Burien!!

So, you heard the request – now it’s time to answer the call and help your neighbor…

Jason Sanders, 42, of Burien’s “The Bean,” an espresso stand across the street from BTB Advertiser Howard & Marge, as well as the Seahurst Post Office (see map below), was “moderately” injured in a head-on car collision last Saturday, Dec. 26th.

According to the folks at The Bean, Jason was apparently driving from his Mother’s home in Mendocino, CA on Highway 101 when a vehicle crossed the center line and hit the passenger side of his car. While not a direct head-on collision, it was so serious that a passenger in the other vehicle had to be extricated by fire fighters.

Jason suffered a broken pelvis, some lacerations, but otherwise no head trauma. He is currently recovering at the University of California, Davis Hospital in Sacramento.

Co-workers at The Bean say he’ll probably be back on the job, in crutches, within a few weeks. They also say that since he’s a veteran, it’s likely that he has health insurance.

Here’s a snippet from the Ukiah Daily Journal, a local paper that reported on the accident:

A south-bound motorist on a northern Mendocino County stretch of Highway 101 collided head-on with an oncoming car about 2:56 p.m. Saturday.

A woman and two men involved in the collision wore seat belts and alcohol is believed to have not been a factor, a report from California Highway Patrol’s Garberville office stated.

Adam T. Wyndham, 29, of Albany, drove just north of Bridges Creek when he crossed the yellow center lines and collided with 42-year-old Jason Reno Sanders of Burien, Wash., CHP stated.

According to CHP, driving conditions that afternoon were wet and raining.

Wyndham’s passenger, Sherrezada Kent, 29, of Albany, sustained major injuries. CHP stated Kent was pinned in the front passenger seat of a 2005 Ford driven by Wyndham. Then a lengthy extrication, CHP stated, was needed to get her out of the vehicle.

Wyndham sustained minor injuries and Sanders sustained moderate injuries in Saturday’s accident. No arrests were made.

Wyndham, Kent and Sanders all were taken to Jerold Phelps Hospital across the Mendocino and Humboldt County line in Garberville.

Everyone here at The B-Town Blog sends their sincere “best wishes for a speedy recovery” to Jason, his family, friends and co-workers.

We’ll update this story as we receive more information.
