I don't know if you print things like this, but I am trying to figure out a way to thank a couple who found my son's wallet. We were shopping in Olde Burien and the wallet dropped out of my son's pocket and landed on the street.
We discovered it was missing after about half an hour and inquired at the stores in Olde Burien. A contractor told us that a couple found it and was trying to find the owner.
I wish to take issue with the column "Teachers should take WASL exam, too" in the April 25 issue of the Times/News, written by Ralph Nichols.
Mr. Nichols suggests that teachers should take the WASL and have their individual scores posted. He further suggests that "this would demonstrate that all teachers are committed by example to the standards the state requires of their students-and could help those on the front lines better understand the relationship between flawed curricula and a failure to acquire math and science skills.
Mr.
To Burien City Council members and Port of Seattle officials:
The White Center Community Development Associations (WCCDA) was created out of a community desire to support neighborhood revitalization that benefits current and vulnerable residents in our neighborhood.
Our mission supports both affordable housing and economic development in our changing neighborhood and we understand how, often, there is complexities in supporting both.
Webster's Dictionary defines a volunteer as "one who enters into or offers himself for a service of his own free will" I was born in Tennessee, which is known as the Volunteer State, and the word volunteer became a part of my vocabulary at an early age. My first act of volunteering may have been when I joined the Navy.
During my industrial career, my volunteer activities included working with Special Olympics. For my retirement years, I only thought ahead to playing Senior softball and learning to play golf.
I hope it is not too late to cancel the purchase of the giant corkscrew to be placed in the Town Square.
It is by far the ugliest piece that I have ever seen. It is uglier than the Hammering Man.
My office is located on the property where Gunther's Tower stood. Dick Bissel and I purchased the land from Mr. Carleton and occupied Gunther's real estate office for many years. Later we constructed a new building on the site.
The original office was purchased by George Tweeny, a book collector.
Transportation taxes would climb 24% ...
I was waiting at the checkout counter at the supermarket this week and idly reading the front-page come-ons of the women's magazines. I was stunned by Cosmopolitan. It had a blaring headline: "What Every Man Wants In Bed."
The clerk was not ready for me so I got to thinking about that question. It was easy.
I know what I would like.
I'd really like a bag of Fritos. They are nice and crunchy even though my bride detests the noise and hates shaking shards of Fritos out of the sheet the morning.
Next, I would like a Mason jar full of hot water.
The city of Seattle hopes the threat of heavy fines will pressure negligent landowners to follow the rules.
A new program, called "Clean up Your Act," will increase fines for landlords and property owners who refuse to repair run down homes, let weeds and bushes take over or turn yards into junkyards.
Fines for violating the city's land use, housing and weed codes will significantly increase under the changes.
West Seattle High School's recent production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Carousel" was a sophisticated and complex undertaking for the five-year-old theater program ably directed by Andrew Finley.
Yes, actors may have missed a note or a dance step here and there but overall, the acting, dancing and especially the music were excellent.
While no one actor stood out, the synergy of the ensemble and those playing individual roles was evident.
