We have just received the Dec. 28, 2005, edition of the Times/News and would like to thank you for your ranking of Burien Town Square as the top local news story of the year.

On a broader scale, we cannot overstate how much we are grateful for your insightful analyses, probing questions and occasional skepticism, all signs of a healthy and responsible press.

Your enthusiasm for Burien Town Square is very much appreciated. It inspires all of us on the project team.

Thank you again and Happy New Year.
