This morning I opened my emails to see three pictures of my son fiercely wielding a badminton racquet over his friend’s head. Who is that? I wondered. And when did he become such a dude?

Sisters Muzit Evans and Senait Beyene are the partners in the new West Seattle Fish House which opened late in the day on Oct. 10 and instantly drew a crowd there to sample the new restaurant's offerings. Located at 9005 35th s.w. they occupy part of the former On Safari Foods space. The West Seattle Herald covered the former resident's new location last March.

The first time resterauteurs, who are originally from Eritrea, have retail experience and worked for years, saving their money to establish the business. They have a very experienced chef, Anthony Mohammed whose Tacoma Fish House Cafe was his business for 21 years before he turned it over to his son in 2000. He was originally going to be a consultant but after the partners sampled fish from restaurants around the region, his was the most popular. He will stay on for at least the next few months and might be there on a permanent basis.
Press release:
Students across King County are eating healthier this year, thanks to the work of five local school districts to improve school nutrition. From making it easier for kids to eat fresh fruits and vegetables to improving nutrition education, the Auburn, Highline, Kent, Renton and Seattle school districts are working to make healthy choices easier for students, while fighting childhood obesity.
School districts are working to make school meals healthier by serving more fruits and vegetables, providing nutrition education, increasing whole grains, reducing sodium levels, making free water available during school meals, and providing only low-fat or nonfat milk. Projects to improve school nutrition in King County also include:
The "Serving Healthy Choices" campaign in the Highline School District makes it easier for students to choose healthy foods by marking healthy menu items with a new icon in middle- and high-school cafeterias.
Students in the Kent School District are eating more locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables thanks to a new farm-to-school model program that connects the school district to local farmers.
Lightning struck twice early on Friday night at Neudorf Memorial Stadium.
Before homecoming fans barely got comfortable in their seats, the Foster Bulldogs had them standing after scoring touchdowns on two big plays early in the first quarter.
Fleet-footed and elusive Cedric Cooper scored on an electrifying 82-yard punt return on one play and linebacker Chris Collins alertly picked the ball up after a blocked punt and ran 14 yards for a touchdown on the other, setting the tone for a 49-14 Foster win over Evergreen in a Seamount League game.
"Our team was hustling and blocking well for each other," said Cooper, who also scored on a another punt return, this one for 69 yards in the second quarter. "We held our blocks well before I caught the ball and I just did what I could do when my team blocked for me. Everyone can block on this team."
"Cooper was something else tonight and the line blocked hard for him," said Evergreen coach Mark Becker. "We were kind of shocked. We knew Foster was good coming in, but they were better than we thought."

We had recently moved into McMicken Heights in the mid 40's. I decided to join the the volunteer fire fighters. They had one shiny new engine. The new station was built on SW 170th across the street from Herron's grocery store. Third son Tim (6) would raid my pennies jar to purchase Bazooka bubble gum by the pocketful at Herron's. I could never figure out why he needed some much dental work when he was ten.
McMicken elementary school was only about five blocks from our two bedroom bungalow. Sons Mike and Ken were two of the school's first students. They got a kick out of sitting in the driver's seat of the truck making siren sounds when they came by the station. Ken was destined to become a fireman. I know because I changed his diapers a few times. The kid could spray.
There was very little training in fighting fires for rookies so we just watched what several old timers did and aimed the big hoses at the flames till the fire died. We then hung the hoses up when we got back to the station. We had to climb like monkeys up the ladder in the drying tower to let the woven fabric hoses dry out.
press release:
King County and its transportation partners have several ways to help you get around during the upcoming nine-day closure of the Alaskan Way Viaduct that starts at 7:30 p.m., Friday, Oct. 21.
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is warning that the viaduct closure is expected to affect traffic throughout the Seattle area. In addition to traffic congestion on the West Seattle Bridge, Aurora Avenue, and in SODO, you can also expect delays on State Route 99, Interstate 5, the floating bridges, and local streets.
WSDOT, King County, Sound Transit, the city of Seattle, and the Port of Seattle are urging people to help reduce congestion by leaving your car at home.
“If you can travel by bus, bike, water taxi, carpool or vanpool, or telecommute, it takes vehicles off the roadways and helps everyone travel more quickly and smoothly,” said Metro Transit General Manager Kevin Desmond. “Still, it will be very important that you allow for extra travel time no matter how you are getting around, and consider traveling outside of the peak commute times.”

The top two Seamount football teams took the field Friday night at the newly remodeled Renton Stadium as Kennedy Catholic Lancers went up against the Renton Indians. Both teams entered the game undefeated in league play, the Lancers stood at 3-0 and the Indians at 2-0.
Please click the photo above for more.
Kennedy Catholic got things started early when running back D.J. Hardy scored on a 73 yard rushing touchdown for the only score in the first quarter. Early in the second quarter the Lancers marched down field to the 11 yard line when quarterback Jason Thompson connected with receiver Conner Richardson for the touchdown, upping the lead to 14-0. The Lancers would score again after starting with good field position on Renton’s 41 yard line. The drive ended with another touchdown pass from Thompson to Richardson.
