Girls b-ball season ends

One of the best seasons of girls basketball came to an end on Feb. 28 when the Ballard Beavers were eliminated from the Central/Southwest 4A Bi-District Tournament by the Roosevelt Roughriders 54-47.

The playoff format requires teams to win two games to advance or lose two games to be eliminated. Ballard had survived three games into the tournament after losing to Woodinville, then mounting a come back with a big win over Redmond.

A train in the tunnel?

It all sounds too familiar.

A feisty public agency describes a grand vision; a future where north and south transit arteries whisk commuters away from the gridlock of street grade traffic. The project will revitalize neighborhoods along the corridor. A flowering pedestrian zone will emerge and commercial ventures will thrive in an area where goods and services flow in unblocked urban arteries.

Thank you, Seattle Parks

To the Seattle Parks Department:

There are a great many individuals and organizations that need to be thanked for bringing the Ballard Commons to Ballard. On Saturday, March 4, Parks Superintendent Ken Bounds and a number of elected officials made an attempt to thank all these people. We hope they didn't leave anyone out.

The Ballard News Tribune would like to recognize the efforts of staff of the Seattle Parks Department.

The public input process was rocky, of course. This is Ballard, after all.
