As promised by Port of Seattle CEO Tay Yoshitani, the port has posted a detailed Audit Response Action Plan on its Website.
The plan, posted on the site's newly developed Accountability section, outlines how the Port will respond to each of the 51 recommendations contained in a recent performance audit report by the State Auditors Office.
"I've said many times that I am committed to using the results of the performance audit to build a more efficient, effective port," said Yoshitani.
I would like to agree with the letter from Jim Clark (1/23/08) and I'm sure many others in town agree.

This is a boating area and should continue to be known as such.

Should Burien look like a Police State?
I think we all want Burien to look better and bring in more business and TAX REVENUES.

To create that we need to remove the "crime element." How do we do that? Well, just look where the government is offering free housing, drugs, abortions and the variety of free services we give in rewarding people for not working.

I found a bunch of mole hills in the yard this weekend so naturally I called Pat Sweeney the Mole Man.
Pat is a printer in real life but has dedicated countless hours to the noble purpose of eradicating moles for mankind. He used to live on California Avenue near the junction.
