Hundreds gathered on a sunny Saturday morning at the Federal Way Farmer's September 27th for the Chili Cook-off between The Federal Way Police and Fire Departments.
City Council member Jeanne Burbidge along with King County Council member Pete Von Reichbauer and Keith Eldridge of KOMO-TV acted as tasting judges for the event. But it was the public that got to make the decision in the end.

A bicyclist passed another down on Alki Avenue, but the "passee" was startled, lost control of her bike, and crashed into a nearby parked vehicle. She landed on its rear window and shattered it.
