June 2006

1. The resident of a home of the 33500 block of 36th Avenue Southwest contacted Federal Way police to report an attempted break-in to his place. The man's report stated he was lying in bed around 1:15 a.m. when he heard a noise at his open window. He looked up and saw a hand pushing on the screen. No entry was made and the man saw nothing further. Federal Way officers established a perimeter around the residence was established and the K9 unit responded, but no trace of the suspect could be found.

Over the Memorial Day weekend, Mrs. Anthony and I visited her dad, the Famous Russian, and took the dogs for a walk near his house.

On the way back, rounding the corner to his driveway, I spotted a shiny object in the top of his hedge. I reached up and pulled on it and a bicycle popped out and landed at my feet; shiny bright and ready to ride.

This was no ordinary bike, either.

For anyone who has cursed out loud while attempting to negotiate the perilous I-5 and SR 18 interchange in Federal Way, know that help is finally on its way.

That was the message at a press conference last Thursday, hosted by Mayor Michael Park, held on the 4th floor of the Transit Bay Center parking lot. As a steady rain fell, each and every one of our governmental representatives gathered to give their support to the "Triangle" Project.

Senator Tracy Eide said that "the nightmare" that is the cloverleaf will be changed.

On June 9th, the first match of the 2006 FIFA World Cup gets underway in Germany, with the Costa Rican and German teams going toe to toe in Munich. If you can't make it Deutschland to watch the games in person, there's always a nearby sports bar. All three will be showing the games live and will offer soccer-themed drink and food specials.
