Burglars Busted in Burien

Four teenage burglars had a bad day in Burien on Thursday. First the owner of the house they were burglarizing came home and chased them out of his house at gunpoint. Then police caught two of the burglars within minutes. Finally, the last two were caught after the area was flooded with Sheriff's deputies, Burien officers, and the sheriff's Guardian One helicopter.

The incident began when a man returned to his home in the 16400 block of Ambaum Blvd S. (Burien) after walking his dog. He found a burglar in his kitchen.

For many of Lois Gorne's students, ties to the Federal Way High School drama program run deep.

Since taking the helm of the school's drama department in 1982, Gorne has no doubt made a significant impact in the lives of hundreds of former Eagles.

Marking her 97th production with the school, six of Gorne's former students will once again take the stage at the FWHS Little Theater. On February 15 and 16, the all-alum cast will perform "Laundry and Bourbon" and "Lone Star," a pair of companion plays written by James McLure.

"We hope this production serves as PR for the program as well as a fundraiser," Gorne said.
