Perseverance under pressure on Saturday, Nov. 15, enabled the No. 1 ranked Class 3A John F. Kennedy girls soccer team to climb upset minded Mount Si in crisp, but dry conditions at Highline Memorial Stadium in Burien.
Evergreen Lutheran is going somewhere its girls soccer team has never been in 10 years of existence at this little school off 260th and Pacific Highway in Kent.
The state final is where!
The Eagle girls beat Ocosta (Westport area), 4-0, in a game they controlled from the start of its semifinal playoff at Sunset Chev Stadium in Sumner Fridav
Improving its record to 10-4-3, the Eagles played LaSalle in the championship on Saturday, Nov.
SUMNER - Plentiful preparation and a multitude of motivation left the Seattle Christian girls soccer team happily singing in the rain Friday at Sunset Chev Stadium.
Seattle Christian midfielder Jordan Comiskey lofted home the game’s only goal in the 24th minute to give the battling Warriors (17-3-1) a 1-0 win over King’s (19-3) and snare a return trip to the state 1A tournament final on Saturday (after press time) against Seattle Academy (21-1).

Your story on the city budget missed the $200 million elephant in the council chamber - the new jail plan. With shrinking revenues, budget cuts, and an economy that's being compared to 1929 it seems more than noteworthy that this new budget contains a $220 million construction and $19 million annual operating commitment. Evidence is slowly leaking out to the public that diversion programs, changes in bookings and sentencing, and human services can make a new jail entirely unnecessary.

The Nov. 5 article about "Safety Nets" by Steve Shay was well written, informative and insightful. I appreciated the opening line referencing John Lennon's classic song "Help" and the stories that followed.
However, as someone with a personal connection to John, Judy and Personal Safety Nets there was one important element of the work that was missing in the article. Creating a Personal Safety Net is much more that preparing for the worst-case scenario; it is intentionally building and solidifying your immediate (multi-generational) community.
I've really enjoyed reading the views of so many neighbors on the Fauntleroy Way restripeing issues, the open discussion aspect of democracy is alive and well in Fairmount Springs/Hills! I just want to add some thoughts about a future that many of us will live to see, transportation in a Post Petroleum era.
One hundred years ago, we started transforming the landscape to suit a lifestyle choice. Getting into cars required paving, paving and more paving, until the dominant feature of our countryside is freeway abutments and parking lots.

While I realize you are the public front man for this project and most likely you aren't the one making the decision on this project of restriping Fauntleroy Way Southwest from Alaska Street to California Avenue Southwest, I would still like to tell you why this is a bad idea in hopes you will pass my views onto upper management.
I have lived in the Fauntleroy area close to the Ferry Dock for 43 years so I think I understand the traffic situation and what wor
Editor's Note: This was sent to the Seattle Department of Planning and Development with a copy to this newspaper.
I live in the Alaska Junction and have been following new development projects in this area for about a year. This is one of the latest projects to be proposed for this area that is too large and offers too little to the community, at too high an impact.
We are under siege here from construction of far too many projects that provide housing for too elite a group, and retail that is redundant. The Connor projects for this intersection continue that trend.
I really enjoyed your article on Tigress Publishing. I have attended a couple of her books signings and her latest "Night of literary fun, Mayhem and Ghostly Encounters." The relationship that Kristen Morris has with her authors is exceptional. You can really feel her passion for her authors and their work. Kristen Morris will definitely leave her mark on the literary marketplace. I am looking forward to her next event.
