The Beavers have a new head football coach this season. John Bowers is bringing 29 years of football-coaching experience, at both the high school and college level, to Ballard High School.
Bowers coached last season at Western Washington University where he was the special teams and recruiting coordinator for the 2-8 Vikings.
My name is Jay, and I graduated from Todd Beamer High School in June 2008 with a non-weighted G.P.A.
(Editor's Note: Jerry Robinson visited the famous Japanese garden at the Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden with a couple who know it well.)
When I bumped into Fran Seike at the store, I asked what she and husband Hal were doing since the Port of Seattle bought them out and closed their long time nursery on Des Moines Memorial Drive.
She said they are not working as hard as they once did but spend several hours every day just doing some free maintenance at the new location of their famous Japanese garden in SeaTac.
So we arranged to meet them there.

Unfortunately, the new revised Prop.
How long, I wonder, will I continue to filter life's events through John's eyes? "John would have loved this." "John would not have allowed that." "John would have the answer."
This past month included many events and experiences that John would have loved - watching his son and grandson play in a father-son tennis tournament; inspecting the almost-completed basement remodeling; having dinner with his kids; making new friends at another dinner, listening to music.

As the Fire Chief of South King Fire & Rescue, I want to take a few moments to address all of the citizens we serve about an unfortunate series of events surrounding your fire department.

The Southwest King County Chamber of Commerce contracts to the City to provide staffing support. President/CEO Nancy Damon does a fantastic job. We also have great sponsors: Burien Sand and Gravel, El Dorado West, Seahurst Dental Design, Puget Sound Energy, Watermark Credit Union, and media partners The Highline Times and the B-Town Blog.
