In Italian, the word "baffi" means mustache. The word "bistro" (from French) means a small restaurant. In combination, these two words mean one of the nicest things to happen to the dining choices in Burien in some time.
Bistro Baffi is an L-shaped restaurant located in Seahurst next to the old Kirk's Pharmacy just before Southwest 152nd Street pours downhill to Three Tree Point.
I am so sorry that people change when it's voting time. I have always liked the Clintons and every one of us has things we don't want aired. So please, when you go to vote please vote for the person that's best fit for the job.
I don't know how many people know that Bill Clinton wears two hearing aides. So things aren't always as rosy as we think they are.

Very well written article in today's West Seattle Herald (Harvey Friedman Op-Ed, Jan. 30).
Government has had a set goal from the start and their intention was to get that to happen one way or another. Shame on a mayor from West Seattle that does not recognize the value of the viaduct and what it does to minimize traffic on I-5 and the Sodo streets. Perhaps if he drove during rush hour, either morning or evening he would see that.
A major concern is we cannot go without a the viaduct for any length of time.
At the very least whoever writes your headlines needs to read the lead paragraph of the article (Page 4, Jan. 30). Sean Keller won the Geography Bee. He didn't have to know how to spell Zanzibar. He had to know where it was on the map, a critical difference don't you think?

For many years West Seattle has been the Stepford child of services from the city. Charlie Chong railed about it and splitting from the city and in my opinion we should have as a longtime West Seattle resident. The monorail was proposed ignored by the city government, then voted on again then ignored again and finally killed by the mayor who lives just happens to live in West Seattle. That was two years ago with no new movement on transportation or the viaduct to speak of.
I urge the approval of the bus idea but more so the streetcar idea which we had in West Seattle 100 years ago.
Well I heard a good one as I shopped in West Seattle. I was told about the wonderful roadway that was finished. Oh, but was it? My source said that now they are putting in the new sidewalks. But first they must tear up some of the street to complete the project. I wonder who hooked that cart up to the horse?
Also I shop a lot by mail because I do find some things cheaper than I would in stores. But now I have been calling to see if items are made in China. If they are I tell (the catalog personnel) that I no longer want to receive their catalog.
Seattle Public Schools Superintendent, Dr. Maria Goodloe-Johnson. will be presenting to the School Board three options for the money allocated for Chief Sealth High School and Denny Middle School in the Building Excellence (BEX) III Bond measure in the coming weeks.
The first option calls for continuing the concept of a shared campus with no additional dollars devoted to Chief Sealth beyond the $125 million originally allocated for both schools.

CHERYL L. MILLER,
Deceased.
Perpendicular parking will stay and plans to spend over $600,000 for a controversial 1,340-foot stretch of sidewalk snaking around the water side of Alki Avenue between 63rd Avenue Southwest and Beach Drive has been scrapped - but other plans will be considered.
Sandra Woods, Seattle Department of Transportation street fund manager, said the controversy began when notices were erroneously posted in front of residences that would be impacted by the plan, that said perpendicular parking spots were to be erased in favor of fewer, parallel parking spots as a result of sidewalk construct
What started out to be a low-key political rally Saturday to urge legislators to pass a North Highline annexation-related bill soon morphed into a debate among the audience over which city North Highline ought to join.
The long-running annexation process is at a critical political point and the action right now is in Olympia in the form of House Bill 1139.
