Ballard High School students have the talent to produce videos and they are receiving the recognition for the quality of their work.
Three video productions by Ballard students won awards in the 30th Annual Young People’s Film and Video Festival organized by the Northwest Film Center in Portland on July 16.
“They pick the work that is best and put it in a showcase,” said teacher Matt Lawrence.
The fortunes of Ballard have never been far removed from those of its fishermen. When the fleet prospers, so do Ballard's shipbuilders and net makers, bankers, brokers and merchants.

A new political action committee was organized recently to oppose annexation by Burien of part or all of the North Highline unincorporated area.

Those petitions, which were submitted to the city council on July 17, declared, "We the undersigned are opposed to any form of annexation of North Highline by Burien."
Jack Thompson's summer sports camp was held recently at Evergreen High School in White Center.
