There will be no monorail in Ballard, at least for the foreseeable future. In an effort to save the beleaguered Green Line, the Seatttle Monorail Project board of directors have submitted a ballot measure for inclusion in the November 8 election that redefines the monorail route as running from West Seattle to Dravus Street, in Interbay, instead of the initial proposed route that would have started at NW 85th Street and 15th Avenue NW in Crown Hill.

"It's sad, really," said Connie Stone, owner of the Wild Mountain Caf/ in Crown Hill.

Federal Way's sweeper extraordinaire, Cayla Dixon, tried desperately to get a foot on a cross from Thomas Jefferson's captain Kelsey Racicot in a girls South Puget Sound League South rivalry game that the Raiders won, 1-0, Thursday at Federal Way Memorial.

But that didn't happen.
