Try automatic membership

I have been following the activities of Discover Burien pretty closely over the past years, and have been pleased with benefits and additions to the overall improvement of the Burien area.

I know also that there have been some "bumps" along the way. There have been concerns by some of the declining membership recently; this is usually not a healthy sign in any organization.

So, this is my suggestion: if somebody has a business or organization in Burien they are automatically a member of Discover Burien.

Bellevue rallied from a 14-point deficit to defeat Kennedy 21-14 in overtime in a battle of unbeaten teams in the Class 3A state football championship as part of the 2006 Washington state Gridiron Classic Friday night at the Tacoma Dome.

"I'm proud of these guys, but it still hurts," Williams intoned. "We were there, up 14-0 man.
