Burien City Council members have been threatened with recall if they vote to designate any part of North Highline as a potential annexation area.
The recall threat was communicated in an undated notice sent by certified mail recently to the home addresses of all seven council members.
It was paid for by the Burien Residents Against Annexation Political Action Committee.
Senior Kylen Johnson and sophomore Kyle MacDonald delivered the speed while senior Kristen Watkins persevered. Together with their West Seattle High School cross country teammates, they offered a glimpse into a promising season Friday afternoon at Lower Woodland.
The girls, in fact, made history. It takes five runners to tally a team score in cross country. With Bishop Blanchet's girls cheering her across the finish line, Watkins became that fifth West Seattle runner. In so doing, she completed the first girls' team score for West Seattle this decade.
The West Seattle High School Girls Volleyball team started divisional play last week at the Cleveland Eagles. The Wildcat Girls had the match in hand most of the evening taking game one, 25-10 and game two, 25-12.
Kaileah Bladwin, and Katie Menday both started and played significant minutes in the second game helping West Seattle put a four point run together on Menday's serve to finish it. Cleveland did not let the Lady Wildcats get away in the third game and kept it close from the beginning.
Some people at the farmer's market were surprised that Elsbeth could wander around during her hip replacement rehab. She uses a walker while looking for bargains in blueberries and peaches and maybe some fresh corn.
It is not easy. We carry a small wooden stool in the trunk and when I place it by the car door she can step on it and grab a strap and hoist herself into the car. To get out she just kind of slides out on her bottom till her feet hit the ground. Then she takes off like a wounded duck and waddles away.
She doesn't need her walker at the supermarket.
Passion: a strong feeling towards any particular thing whether that is a person, hobby, book, or whatnot. Without it, we could end up aimless, wandering through fog-filled streets with blinders tunneling our vision.
A lot of people, including the teens themselves, consider the majority of America's younger demographic to be passionless.
They couldn't be more wrong. The problem is that we have too much unfocused passion.
It is comforting to know we have at least one Seattle City Council member who considers sticker shock and listens to the people of our city. Council President Nick Licata writes on this page a cogent discussion about his lone vote against Seattle's own Big Dig. We need to bury this outrageous tunnel boondoggle or it will bury us taxpayers in the muck and slime of the edge of the bay.
He cites the irrational behavior of the City Council now and the nearly identical council of 2005.
The City Council (last) Friday passed a series of bills about the future of the Alaskan Way Viaduct.
The council votes included: Passage of an ordinance designating a tunnel as the preferred alternative; passage of an ordinance against an elevated highway along the waterfront; voting down two resolutions calling for a public vote (all three passed 7-1),
The council voted first in committee, then in full council.
I want to congratulate the entire board of the Alki Community Council for the exceptional job they did putting together and presenting to members the question of whether to allow parking in the 1100 to 1700 block on Alki.
Having encouraged their constituency to vote for yet another bond to ensure the department has the necessary tools for our safety, the commissioners of the North Highline Fire District voted unanimously to give the fire chief a salary increase to $16,500 a month. That's correct, $198,000 a year.
It's incomprehensible that one of the lowest income urban areas in the state has one of the highest paid public servants in the state. Go figure!
