This team that finished 8-12 for the regular season, the Evergreen and Tyee high schools combined Junior Legion team, came through the postseason with so much more left to show the others that beat them so badly.

BALLARD-Gotta hand it to Olympic View. It may not be taking first place team-wise, but they're over the top as far as beating rival Seattle Summer Swim Club league local teams in big meets year in and year out. Like Southern Divisionals July 28, and most recently All-City Aug.
Former Highline School Board member Ed Pina distanced himself from political labels as he announced last week that he is a candidate for the Des Moines City Council.
"I'm neither ultra conservative nor ultra liberal," Pina declared.

A King County Superior Court judge ruled in favor of Burien Aug.
Early Sunday morning, a tow truck was called to the Junction to impound a van that was illegally parked. But the tow truck driver was punched in the jaw by an intoxicated man who was sleeping in the van. When officers arrived, the suspect, a Morgan Junction resident, refused to obey their commands and repeatedly yelled threats and racial slurs at them, just as he had at the tow truck driver. He was booked into King County Jail for investigation of assault.
A witness saw a man placing grocery items into a backpack at an Alaska Junction store.
It was the dream of every aspiring West Seattle musician to play The Embers. I was in a band that played there a few times, and on the last occasion a dancing drunk got snagged up in our microphone wires, causing half our equipment to crash to the dance floor. We didn't know it at the time, but it was an omen of The Ember's (and our band's) future.
For us rocker wannabes, Embers, at 1317 Harbor Avenue, and the Admiral Tavern (now the Admiral Pub), were the nearest live music venues. The next closest was King's, on the 12600 block of Pacific Highway South.
I was quietly reading the paper the other day when Elsbeth came by my chair and said she believed her left hip was feeling better.
She had gotten a cortisone shot the week before. She sidled up and asked if I could detect any reduction in the swollen spot where they stuck her with a needle .
I checked. Hmm, I said, in my best doctor voice.
I told her that in order to give her an accurate reading, I would have to make a medical exam of the opposite hip. I was not about to shoot from the hip, so to speak.
I liked the cover photo of the "famed Alki flower house." I've often admired it while down at the beach.
However, as to its fame, I wonder how many people know anything about it, such as the location and the identity of the person or persons responsible for the extravaganza of color. Surely the goal was not for the owners to keep a low profile, as anyone who loves flowers must surely slam on the brakes upon seeing the display for the first time. I would love to learn more about it.
On another subject, I want to say how much I appreciate your obituary section.
Thank you for the very good article on my work on the City Council in your July 27 edition. Unfortunately, the headline "Conlin supports monorail here" does not accurately represent my position on the monorail. I have always been skeptical of the monorail as a technology (because of its impacts on the pedestrian environment) and as a solution to our transportation problems (because of its high cost and probably low ridership).
The headline could lead readers to believe that I have changed my position.
Southwest Airline's move to Boeing Field is an affront to many residents of Seattle. The noise created from the planes will negatively impact city neighborhoods, reducing the quality of life for residents of West Seattle, Magnolia, Queen Anne, Ballard, Beacon Hill and Georgetown.
Is Southwest or King County going to provide homes in these communities with soundproofing as was done for SeaTac area properties?
