Car buffs of every stripe will appreciate the diverse array of classy chassis in the fourth annual Burien Father's Day Car Show on Sunday, June
18.
From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., eye-catching classic cars and their modern counterparts will line Southwest 152nd Street in downtown Burien between Fourth Avenue Southwest and Eighth Avenue Southwest.
Not many business owners would tolerate a client's dog sleeping smack in the middle of her desk.
But for Jacque Haggard of Paws and Relax, Burien's new doggie daycare, it's all about giving her canine customers the attention they need, whether it's exercise, petting or usurping the boss's furniture.
Paws and Relax is inviting dogs and their humans to check out the daycare during their grand opening Saturday, June 17, from noon to 5 p.m.
Refreshments will be served, including dog cookies, of course.
A ribbon cutting for the new business will be Friday
YAKIMA--Evergreen Lutheran got behind early against last years' state runner-up
Mossyrock, that returned 11 players including their pitcher who threw a
complete game, struck out six and two-hit the Eagles for a 10-0 10-run rule
shortened opening round game of the WIAA Dairy Farmers of Washington 1/A B
Fastpitch State Tournament at the Gateway Sports Complex in Yakima Friday.
So the loss was not that bad, playing against a team like that. And, like,
This summer I plan to ride the Group Health Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic. It is a 200 mile organized ride from Seattle to Portland that can be done in one or two days.
In training, I ride upwards of 150 miles on King County roads each week. So, I considered it a good idea to promote bicycle awareness. The Ride of Silence is a worldwide event to generate awareness for cyclists and commemorate those killed or injured while riding their bicycles safely on the roads. Cyclists from around the world join together locally.
There is nothing more difficult for a family than seeing changes in their school or their neighborhood.
Admiral Way
I just read Tim St. Clair's article on the mayor's plan for a tax hike and improvement of our roads May 31). There is no mention of pedestrian safety issues and crosswalks. Bike lanes and larger street signs are all planned for however.
I've lived at 48th and Admiral Way for 52 years and have seen the traffic and speed increase year after year. I am 80 years old, crippled, walk with a cane and wear a bright red jacket. As a volunteer at Life Care nursing home, I cross at 47th and Admiral Way, a marked crosswalk.
A subscriber for many years, I view the Herald as a much more robust, informative community newspaper since the current editor came aboard.
Given the preponderance of liberal Democrats in the area, I can understand the editor's coverage of political matters to accommodate the left. Imagine my surprise, then, to encounter his editorial not just suggesting, but recommending the replacement of the revered, perennial, far-left Congressman Jim McDermott. The faithful are sure to rally to the cause and see to McDermott's re-election.
I find it interesting to note that we can't find the money to keep our schools open, rebuild our viaduct, maintain bridges and roadways, maintain public restrooms and parks and a myriad of other local issues that most of us feel are rather important. Yet we even consider spending taxpayers' money to re-remodel the Key Arena for the Sonics. And we wonder why the world is in such a dysfunctional state.
Where are our priorities?
The West Seattle Herald has published several letters in the past recognizing Providence Mount St. Vincent as a caring, supportive place for our aging or ailing family members. Many lives have been touched by the work that happens there and the parents of the "graduating" preschoolers would like to recognize the talented, caring staff of the Intergenerational Learning Center.
From the time that we nervously handed our babies over to the staff there while we went off to work, through the toddler years, and into preschool years, our kids were loved and cared for by the best.
Copy of a letter to Mayor Greg Nickels:
I hope you read the West Seattle Herald. This because you will understand why I write to you. Guy Gullipeau wrote and a lot of us agree, we don't need any more parks in West Seattle. We are park poor. Who is paying for the upkeep?
Another man wrote to say they need help in South Park, his name being Charlie Cunniff, the executive director for ECOSS, the Environmental Coalition of South Seattle. He has 12 yeas at the post. How about getting some money for their park and also Georgetown.
