A bank robber has hit the KeyBank in Burien twice this month. Both robberies were on Saturday mornings. No gun was seen and a note was passed to the teller in each robbery.
The bank is located at 655 S.W. 152 St.
The first robbery was on June 7th at 11:30 a.m. The robber left the bank in a full size, older medium-blue Ford pick-up truck without a canopy.
The most recent robbery on June 21st was at 10:10 a.m.
South Highline National played West Seattle tough, but was roughed up via a sixth-inning rally for a 7-6 loss in a Little League District 7 All-Stars 10-11 year olds winner's bracket final match-up at Pacwest Fields Wednesday.
"We've always played each other tough," said Doug Thurber, SHN manager.
Led by some good pitching by committee from relief pitchers, Jeremy Hoefer and Sam Maitland, and, not to forget starter Robert Jones, the South Highline National 10-11 All Stars team, which bounced back from a demoralizing, 7-6, last-ups loss to West Seattle two nights earlier, beat Rainier, 7-1, in the loser bracket final at Pacwest Fields Friday.
Now SHN's 10-11 all stars gets to play West Seattle again, which was a game played Saturday morning (after press time) for all the marbles of getting to represent District 7 at state.
"We can play with those guys," said manager
Boating
Coast Guard Auxiliary
Ongoing
U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Des Moines Flotilla No. 32 regularly offers Boating Safety and Seamanship courses in the Federal Way and Des Moines areas.
They cover the full range of boating safety subjects, including federal requirements, basic piloting, marlin spike, seamanship and boat handling.
The instruction is free, although there is a nominal fee for the student text and work books.
On June 22 at 12:02 a.m. Federal Way Police and Fire personnel were called to the 2600 block of Southwest 333rd Place to a report of an injured child.
Upon arrival, officers contacted the father of the male seven-month-old victim. The father was holding the deceased child.

Name Wrong
Last Wednesday's edition of the Highline Times/Des Moines News ran a name with an incorrect ending.
It was Orion Schade who doubled for South Highline National during a five-run second inning. She also scored on an ensuing single by Carrera Geer.
The Pac West Cardinals of Burien lost twice during the regular season to Rainier, but not a third time. It was that third time that was the most important -- when it counted -- in a 17-11 win by the District 10 Little League Junior All Star Tournament of Champions title game at Rainier Valley Playfield in Seattle June 15.
"Rainer is a good ballclub, but our guys came to play today and they put up a lot of runs," said John Howard, the coach of PacWest who also has coached Junior Football League for many seasons along with coaches George Jackson and Milt Chapman.
The South Highline National Marlins found out a couple great defensive plays and a grand slam could most change a game, as they lost a close one, 7-5, to the Renton Cardinals in the District 7 Tournament Of Champions final at Normandy Park Monday, June 16.
"They had a better defense," said Armond Swanson II, the manager of the Marlins.
The Cardinals made one error in the first inning, by the left fielder, who in the end made the play of the day.
