Late last September, after sending out mailers and doorbelling, Burien City Council candidate Rose Clark thought she had all the issues down.
But, the newly elected councilwoman observed recently, she was wrong.
“Annexation of North Highline into Burien had only been an issue for a short time frame,” Clark said.
I have served my country in the United States Army and the United States Air Force for 20 years and 10 years reserve.
Christmas is a tradition that we have always enjoyed, yet this freedom of expression is being gently taken away from us by attacking the existence of our Christmas tree.
A friendly battle, in the spirit of Christmas needs, to be waged and won in such a manner as to not end up with hostile feelings either for or against Christmas.

The North Highline Unincorporated Area Council decided last week to formally recommend that voters approve annexation to Burien -- two days after the Burien Planning Commission yanked away the welcome mat.

The Burien Planning Commission voted 6-1 Nov. 29 to recommend the Burien City Council not designate North Highline as a "potential annexation area."

Shopping with Elsbeth is always an adventure.We were in Safeway buying groceries. I am too impatient to hang around while she examines the dates on milk cartons or reads the ingredient list on a cereal box to make sure it has some minute amount of riboflavin. So I wandered off to sample some red grapes that are always sold in big packages that shrivel up in the back of the refrigerator where they get hidden by the bottles of apple juice she got on sale. I would never open a sealed cello bag of grapes but if someone else has already done it and you can see a lot of grapes are missing . . .
Shuffle into the school building. See jeans. Jaunt to the nearest coffee shop. See jeans. Prance through the doors of Benaroya Hall. See jeans. Bored yet?
It seems to me that Seattleites foster an innate fear of the tuxedo and leather dress shoe. Perhaps we all find comfort in the cling of our jeans and t-shirts - the wonderful simplicity of fresh-from-the-floor clothing.
